I wonder if you have a version of swarmapps that is not current. I'm 
testing swarmapps-2.1.1 and in the top of Bug.m I see:

// Bug.m                                        SimpleBug

#import "Bug.h"
#import "FoodSpace.h"
#import <random.h>

If I comment out the random.h include, I can reproduce your error.

Could you check and see?
