Strange problem installing Swarm 1.3.1

[Lorin Hochstein]

Hi,

This is my first post to the mailing list (or any mailing list, period),
so I hope it isn't a really trivial thing...

I had a rather strange problem installing Swarm 1.3.1 on my system (I'm
running Redhat 5.0, building Swarm from the sources).

When I extract the Swarm sources (I put them in /usr/local/swarm-1.3.1),
and tried to build it, I had to change the makefiles, which were looking
for files in

../swarm-1.3.1/etc/swarm

which were in

../swarm-1.3.1/etc

I changed the makefiles, and then I thought I was done. Then, I tried to
build and run the sample applications. They compiled, but seg-faulted on
execution. After tracing through the code, I discovered that the
Arguments.findDirectory method was being called, and was looking for
../swarm-1.3.1/etc/swarm again!

Why doesn't swarm install the files in the proper place? Should I just
copy all of the files in ../swarm-1.3.1/etc to ../swarm-1.3.1/etc/swarm?
Even if this fixes it, does anyone know why it unpacked the files to the
wrong directory?
