What do you get if you go into src/objectbase in your build directory
and `cat version.h'?

I suspect that you may not be doing a clean build.  If you are still
having problems, ensure that you completely remove your build
directory and start-over.  

You should also remove your source directory and untar the archive
from scratch.  I recommend using *separate* build and source trees.

Here's the steps, I'd follow to make *absolutely sure* you are doing a
completely clean install (replace home with wherever you want on your
home system).

1. Create your src and build directories:

$ cd /home
$ mkdir src
$ mkdir build

2. Untar your archive:

$ cd /home/src
$ tar zxvf swarm-1.2.tar.gz
$ ls 

3. Go into your build directory

$ cd /home/build
$ mkdir swarm-build
$ cd swarm-build

4. Set-up a configure command (which I suggest saving as a shell script):

i.e. save the following as build-swarm-PPC (remember the command is
all on one line!):

#!/bin/sh
/home/src/swarm-1.2/configure --srcdir=/home/src/swarm-1.2 
--prefix=<wherever-you-want-swarm-installed> 
--<all-your-other-Swarm-configure-options>....

Make it executable:

$ chmod +w build-swarm-PPC

5. Run the shell-script from /home/build/swarm-build:

$ ./build-swarm-PPC
$ make

These steps are good for all systems, PowerPPC or Unix/Linux.
