I can't believe someone would be without a bookmark to it :)

But seriously folks, I've rebuild RPMs with the Swarm shapshot from
02-03-2000.  I have currently have RPMS for i686 platform, and expect
pretty soon I'll have i386 and i586. (the ones I built for i386 and i586
cause an Illegal Instruction from SIGILL on one of my computers, so I'm
holding them back until I work that out with SDG).  As you may recall,
I'm only building swarm with hdf5 support, so you have to install the
hdf5 RPM as well. These are for the Kaffe distribution of the java kit.

Please note well that since swarm-2.0.1 there has been an interface
change in the Lisp Archiver, so if you try to compile heatbugs from
swarm-2.0.1, you will get an error like this:

cc1obj: warnings being treated as errors
HeatbugBatchSwarm.m: In function `-[HeatbugBatchSwarm buildObjects]':
HeatbugBatchSwarm.m:50: warning: method `getWithZone:object:' not
implemented by protocol.
HeatbugBatchSwarm.m:50: warning: return type defaults to id

The INCREDIBLY EASY fix is to change the word "object" to key in the
method "getWithZone:object" in the files main.m and HeatbugBatchSwarm.m.

On my SMP machine, at least for the present, I also get a seg fault
while trying to build against the Sun JDK-1.2.2.  If someone with a
single processor machine will volunteer to build a new RPM, I will send
you the files you need to do it.
