hi mike, those messages suggest your PVM daemon fails to start up, which in my experience is typically related to an unclean shutdown and left-over files. please check the contents of the $LOGONTMP directory, or maybe try a ‘make pure’ in $LOGONROOT. if all else fails, what messages do you get when launching pvmd3 from a command line? i am using fedora 15 myself, so doubt that is part of the problem :-). cheers, oe On Wednesday, August 24, 2011, Michael Wayne Goodman <<a href="mailto:goodmami@u.washington.edu">goodmami@u.washington.edu</a>> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm getting PVM errors when I try to use PET for parsing with [incr > tsdb()].
