Swarm RPMS

[pauljohn]

I should have said in the last note the gcc 3 rpms can be found here
http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/software

Recall these are off the path, so you need to attend to PATH and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make use of them (the library path is needed for the
new libgcc).

The swarm rpms for pentium ii and greater systems are here:

http://lark.cc.ukans.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.x_RPMSforRH7/i686/

swarm-2.1.80.20010622-1.i686.rpm
swarm-gcjswarm-2.1.80.20010622-1.i686.rpm
swarm-jdk-2.1.80.20010622-1.i686.rpm
swarm-static-2.1.80.20010622-1.i686.

Standard old i386 rpms here:

I'm curious to know what kind of depencency problems people run into. I
am absolutely certain the RPM system should not let you install
swarm-gcjswarm without having gcc-3.0 and the swell gcj compiler setup. 
I FEAR that swarm- will not let you install without also installing
gcc-3.0 rpms.  I don't exactly thing the new gcc should be NECESSARY but
I expect the rpm system might insist.  I think at minimum it will ask
you to install gcc-3.0, gcc-objc, and gcc-java.  But you can experiment
and let me know.

Please note that since this version of gcc does not have the special
objc patch, you will see these warnings at compile/run time:

/usr/bin/ld: warning: type and size of dynamic symbol
`__objc_class_name_Diffuse2d' are not defined
/usr/bin/ld: warning: type and size of dynamic symbol
`__objc_class_name_Colormap' are not defined
