rpm -e swarm
or whatever swarm package you have.

Many possibilities. probably the best is to set it in the user
environment in ~/.bashrc. you can set it in your /etc/profile as well to
affect all users.
Syntax:

export SWARMHOME=/usr

I think your Makefile may have been corrupted by MS Windows.  You don't
have the exact same problem, but if an "observationally identical"
Makefile worked, then this is likely the issue. Easy to fix with Emacs. 
There's more about it in the SwarmONlineFaq item:

Right, Windows likes those extra invisible symbols, Unix does now

Sorry I have not seen that one.  This happened with the 2.1.1 RPM for
ppc from the Swarm website? I wonder what gcc you have?

Never in Swarm 2.0.1 or later. space is now one of the official swarm
libraries.
