Help in running GALIB

Chakrapani,
All the galib programs I have for g++ are using pvm.  That means that you
will have some trouble compiling them unless you are also using pvm.  I
can tell you that, in general, you will find it necessaary to create your
own makefiles (the makefiles in my programs are for the pvm "make"
utility, not gnu make).

Also, you must compile the library before you can compile anything under
g++.  If you are having problems with compiles, I suggest that you follow
the Install and readme instructions carefully first.  Next, try to compile
tests.  If those work correctly, make your program, copy one of the
makefiles from an example to your programming directory, make the
appropriate changes to catch your header and program files, and try to
compile.  

If you have problems at any stage of this process, just post a description
of the problem, maybe  snippet of code, and we can try to help you out.

Best Regards, Joe Dumoulin
