Thanks Vishal. I've mailed my admin to let me know where (if they exist)
these header files are.

Now I'm trying the second suggestion you've given me. We have a LINUX
cluster, everybody logs into a LINUX m/c and submits their jobs (through PBS
script) on it. So this is how I do it:

PBS_SCRIPT:
   cat $PBS_NODEFILE | sort | uniq > hostfile

   lamboot -ssi boot rsh hostfile
   #JOB COMMENTED OUT FOR NOW
   lamhalt

The job is terminated immediately, I don't get the "topology done" message
(which means there is error). The host file contains the name of the m/c
e.g. Empire-03-22
Maybe I can't do ssh to the cluster (this is a prerequisite you mentioned)
but how to verify this?
Can someone tell me how to diagnose the problem further?
