Re: Help: Problems compiling SWARM sample applications.

[Doug Donalson;]

You might want to look at your Makefilefile.conf and see whether
it contains -lspace in the definition of the swarm libraries (this
is under the section that says you shouldn't need to change.)  It 
was missing from my Makefile.conf and I had to add it manually.

Cheers,
