The problem for me is that I dont have BLT on the DEC system. I can't get
to compile those, because it does not like the Tk I have, and tk won't
compile because of tons of errors of the type:

../generic/tkIntDecls.h:811: parse error before `}'
../generic/tkIntDecls.h:811: warning: data definition has no type or
storage class

Anyway, if I try to configure swarm itself, (./configure) I get (on some
of the machines):

checking host system type... Invalid configuration `alphaev6-dec-osf4.0f':
machine `alphaev6-dec' not recognized

...

ltconfig: you must specify a host type if you use `--no-verify'
Try `ltconfig --help' for more information.
configure: error: libtool configure failed

I tried to look at config.guess, but I can not find out what is going
wrong.

Best regards.
