ALMOST everything worked exactly as you suggested. I went back, uninstalled
the mess I had made and began again as directed. I installed the swarm and
jikes rpms successfully and downloaded the swarmapps-2.0.1 source. I
installed the app software in
/home/swarm/swarmapps-2.0.1
modified SWARMHOME in the Makefile and tried to build.
The make worked fine except for warnings of the sort
/usr/bin/ld: warning: type and size of dynamic symbol
'__objc_class_name_GUISwarm' are not defined
Sounds like the same problem mentioned in
http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/archive/list-archive.9903/0071.html
<http://www.santafe.edu/projects/swarm/archive/list-archive.9903/0071.html>
A few ways to overcome this problem, including modifying ld.so.conf are
suggested. So as to keep my install somewhat "pristine", what is the
recommended way to resolve this problem. Also, did I do something wrong to
get this, or is there a step missing in your last e-mail?
It appears as though I'm getting oh so close!

More typically, use this
rpm -Uvh filename.
U will upgrade a package if it already exists, or install if
it doesn't.
To only upgrade packages currently installed, use rpm -UFvh.

I'm going to lobby Alex to give up on the swarm demos. It
seems like
most users have your experience.

NO, those are needed if you want to build a new rpm, not to
install the
one we provide.
If not, is there a

I'm adding this to the FAQ, so I'm writing in detail not
just for your
benefit.
Install the swarm rpm from sfi.
rpm -Uvh swarm-2.0.1.i386.rpm
They want you to install jikes too. So do it.
Get the swarmapps-2.0.1.tar.gz package, put it someplace
where you can
work as a user, say
/home/your_name/swarm/src.
Then cd /home/your_name/swarm and type
tar xzvf src/swarmapps-2.0.1.tar.gz
That should open a new directory
/home/your_name/swarm/swarmapps-2.0.1.
Then cd to swarmapps-2.0.1 and pick a program.
If you installed the swarm RPMs, your SWARMHOME is /usr.
You can tell Swarm to use that home either by editing the
Makefile in
the application directory (that's my personal favorite) or
by typing a
shell command
export SWARMHOME=/usr
Then type
make
and it should compile. If you compiled heatbugs, when you
do "ls" you
should see the file "heatbugs" and you can execute it by
./heatbugs
If anybody is interested, I made some notes about Java kits
and have
Swarm RPMS for i586 and i686 machines here
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.0_RPMSforRH6/
These are not SFI approved or anything, just things I
thought were fun
and possibly performance enhancing. And, unlike Viagra, you
don't see
blue after using them.

No, I think you forgot the "make distclean" in between
configure tries.
That would explain the trouble you had.
