The information in the On Line FAQ concerning the installation of
Swarm in Redhat 5 was just wonderful! I am running the heatbugs
already!

Some observations:

1) In the tclobjc installation part, maybe you shoud mention that it
is necessary to run "make install" after "make check". Believe me,
this is not obvious for newbies like me ;-)

2) I had to comment the two last "override" lines from your suggestion 
of Makefile.conf. Uncommented, it accuses, "No such file or
directory", in the linking phase. I have no idea what is causing this
in my system.

3) The file bltGraph.tcl was in swarm-1.1/library but not in
swarm-1.1/lib, so I copied it by myself to the place where swarm looks 
for.

Well, now everything seems to be fine.

Thanks a lot for your help and patience.
