Dear all,

I have a machine with only master node.
When I excuted a command 'pvmpov +iskyvase.pov +h480 +w640 +FT +v1 -x -d
+a0.300 -q9 -mv2.0 -b1000 -nw32 -nh32 -nt1 -L/home/node/povray31/include',I
occured  a provblem.
That is:
$pvmpov +iskyvase.pov +h480 +w640 +FT +v1 -x -d
+a0.300 -q9 -mv2.0 -b1000 -nw32 -nh32 -nt1 -L/home/node/povray31/include
...
Spawning pvmpov with 1 PVM tasks on 1 hosts...
...spawn failure because excutable not found
...No tasks spawned! Quitting.

Regards,
KeunHo Yoon.

1) Did the build succeed?
2) Is the executable where you think it is? PVM looks by default in
~/pvm3/bin/$PVMARCH, then in $PVM_ROOT/BIN/$PVMARCH.
3) What directory are you starting in? (affects the first default path)
4) Do you have $PVM_ROOT set? (affects the second default path)

Looks like you have a user called node with a home directory of
/home/node.  Is PVM installed under /home/node/pvm3/bin/$PVMARCH? If
not, does node have $PVM_ROOT set?  If PVM is installed in some other
user's home directory, and node doesn't have that environment variable
set, that would explain it.
