- The only thing needed for linking programs using PVM on SGI
- is the -lsun option.
-
- At least with release 2.3 of PVM this is automatically added if
- you use the "aimk" script instead of "make".
-
- I'm using PVM here with great pleasure across some SGI's and SUN's.
- But it seems SGI is coming out with something much better called
- NCK, the Network Computing Kernel. The network license system NetLS
- already uses it, see "relnotes netls_eoe" (Using NCK).
