Making swarm-1.2 work with redhat 5.1

[pauljohn]

Just a quick note to save others a problem.  Redhat 5.1 has objc for
ecgs, not gcc. Further, that version of objc has thread features that
require some detail in the ./configure statment.  If you have done
this wrong, and want to try again, I'd recommend erasing the swarm-1.2
directory and untarring again.  IT seems to want to remember your
mistakes.  The appropriate configure command on my system was
(this is typed after the $ prompt ALL ON ONE LINE)

$ CC=egcs LIBS=-lpthread ./configure 
--with-tclobjcdir=/swarm/packages/tclobjc-1.3/ 
              --with-bltdir=/swarm/packages/blt8.0-unoff/blt8.0-unoff/ 
              --with-ffidir=/swarm/packages/libffi-1.17/

As you see, I've got the swarm supplemental things stored in
/swarm/packages, as advised in the online faq. The isntallation
of those packages still follows the procedures given in the online faq
for swarm-1.1.

Please, don't forget to change your SWARMHOME environment variable when
you try to use the new swarm!

See ya later
