Re: scripting support for swarm ?

[daniel kottow]

thank you for the very complete answer on the scripting vs. swarm issue. i
am not sure what i will do nor if i will be technically capable of
following your suggestions, but i think i will give the python/xpcom/swarm
alternative a first try. anyway, i think i have a slightly different
expectation on using scripting: its not that i want to develop things in a
scripting language, but rather glue/control/debug objects like agents and
swarms which i will will probably continue to write in objective C. which
means i will have to maintain my own interfacing protocol overhead to the
scripting language while i go along developing objc code.
anyway. i struggled at the very beginning when trying to compile the latest
testing version (2001-12-07): 
(showing the last two files compiled, compilation fails on the second)

any ideas where this might come from ?
BTW, i am using gcc 2.95.2
