Building Swarm 1.2 on Linux 5.0

[L.A. Clark]

Hi

we are having some trouble building Swarm 1.2 on a Linux 5.0 machine.
We  do not have full access rights so we can't update to Redhat 5.1 or
install to /swarm. Instead we are having to put swarm in the
/home/laurence/swarm directory. We have tried to follow Paul Johnson's
FAQ but had to defer to the INSTALL file with swarm at several points:

In /home/laurence

mkdir swarm             (to hold the tool-chain)
mkdir swarm-1.2     (for the destination version of swarm)
cd swarm

Build libffi-1.18

cp /tmp/ftp/libffi-1.18.tar.gz
tar -xvzf libffi-1.18.tar.gz
rm *.gz
cd libffi-1.18
./configure --prefix=/home/laurence/swarm
make
make install

Build tcl8.0

cd ..
cp /tmp/ftp/tcl8.0p2.tar.gz .
tar -xvzf tcl8.0p2.tar.gz
rm *.gz
cd tcl8.0/unix
./configure --prefix=/home/laurence/swarm --enable-gcc --enable-shared
make
make install

Build Tk8.0

cd ../..
cp /tmp/ftp/tk8.0p2.tar.gz .
tar -xvzf tk8.0p2.tar.gz
rm *.gz
cd tk8.0/unix
./configure --prefix=/home/laurence/swarm --enable-gcc --enable-shared
make
make install

Build Blt8.0unoff

cd ../..
cp /tmp/ftp/blt8.0-unoff-swarm-0.tar.gz .
tar -xvzf blt8.0-unoff-swarm-0.tar.gz .
rm *.gz
cd blt8.0-unoff/unix
mkdir Linux
cd Linux
../configure --prefix=/home/laurence/swarm --enable-shared
make
cd ../../demos
./barchart
cd ../unix/Linux
make install
cd /home/laurence/swarm/blt8.0-unoff/lib
ln -sf shared/libBLT8.0.so libBLT.so

Build tclobjc

cd ../..
cp /tmp/ftp/tclobjc-1.4.tar.gz .
tar -xvzf tclobjc-1.4.tar.gz
rm *.gz
cd tclobjc-1.4
./configure --prefix=/home/laurence/swarm/tclobjc-1.4
vi Makefile

Change the following lines in the Makefile
TCL_INCLUDE FLAGS = /home/laurence/swarm/include
TK_INCLUDE_FLAGS = /home/laurence/swarm/include
TCL_LIBRARY_FLAGS = -L/home/laurence/swarm/lib -ltcl8.0
TK_LIBRARY_FLAGS = -L/home/laurence/swarm/lib -ltk8.0

make
make check
cd /home/laurence/swarm/libffi-1.18/include
cp * /home/laurence/swarm/include

Build Swarm

cd /home/laurence/swarm/
cp /tmp/ftp/swarm-1.2.tar.gz .
tar -xvzf swarm-1.2.tar.gz
rm *.gz
ln -sf swarm-1.2 swarm
cd swarm
./configure --prefix=/home/laurence/swarm-1.2
--with-ffidir=/home/laurence/swarm
--with-tclobjcdir=/home/laurence/swarm/tclobjc-1.4
--with-bltdir=/home/laurence/swarm/blt8.0-unoff
--with-tkdir=/home/laurence/swarm --with-tcldir=/home/laurence/swarm
make

This results in the following error:

Any suggestions?
