that funny bltGraph.tcl problem came up again--swarm 1.2

[Paul Johnson]

I installed swarm 1.2 on a second Redhat 5.1 machine, this time with
a wise and knowing grin because I figured out the configure statement
on the other one.

This one compiled with no trouble, and heatbugs built with no trouble,
but when I executed it I got this:


$ ./heatbugs 
BLT support file `bltGraph.tcl' not found
If the directory `/swarm/swarm-1.2/lib' not the intended location for the BLT
support files,
please adjust BLT_LIBRARY to the right place.
address@hidden heatbugs]$ export BLT_LIBRARY=/swarm/blt8.0-unoff/lib
address@hidden heatbugs]$ ./heatbugs
BLT support file `bltGraph.tcl' not found
If the directory `/swarm/swarm-1.2/lib' not the intended location for the BLT
support files,
please adjust BLT_LIBRARY to the right place.

To me, this is confusing.  I don't know what "intended location" means here--
my intended location for the BLT/lib directory, the Swarm directory that holds
that blt stuff, or what.

Here is how I fixed it.
Create /swarm/swarm-1.2/lib, and copy bltGraph.tcl from the BLT/library
directory into it.

Then the same heatbugs executable runs.

OOps. I now have an important question.  When you make swarm-1.2, 
are you supposed to have SWARMHOME set?  If it is set to another directory,
guess that could cause trouble?
