Hello.

I am trying to install Pypvm (http://pypvm.sourceforge.net/), the
Python interface to PVM ("Parallel Virtual Machine"). Unfortunately,
installation fails. I am hoping someone can help me fix it.

I am running Fedora Core 8 Linux.

The official Pypvm documentation is very helpful (or something),
providing the following:



To build Pypvm, cross your fingers and try:

make -f Makefile.pre.in boot
make

Or alternatively, try
  python setup.py build
  python setup.py install



For me, the "make -f Makefile.pre.in boot" seems to run fine, but the
"make" fails, giving (among other things) the following:

In in alternate version, "python setup.py build" similarly fails:

Can anyone help me get it to work?

Thanks in advance.
