Re: Swarm 1.4.1 needed

[Douglas Piper]

I have installed Swarm 1.4.1 under MkLinus DR3 (July 1998) on a Macintosh 
model G3. From "needed software" I installed only BLT-2.4g, Libffi-1.20 and
Libpng-1.0.3. The sample Swarm apps are now running OK.

Confusions I encountered during this install were as follows:

    - multiple versions of BLT/blt. I found the right one by trial and error
    - Tcl8 from "needed software" would not build on my machine. But the
    pre-installed version of Tcl8 which came with this MkLinus seems to
    work.
    - By default the Libpng from "needed software" installs in /usr/local
    and conflicts with Libpng-0.96 which was pre-installed in /usr. Fixed
    by forcing Libpng-1.0.3 to install in /usr.

For what its worth.
