Re: make error

[Paul Johnson]

Dear Ivan and Friends in Swarm:

I'm now acting as the membership recruiter for the SDG, and I'm inclined 
to start harrassing new people about joining SDG.  Messages of the 
following sort are soon to start appearing in mailboxes all around the 
world.

Dear New User:

Please join the swarm-support list and join the SDG. Swarm is a publicly 
available, open source, free piece of software, but we still have to pay 
the bills, and you can do your part by sending us an individual 
membership subscription.  The support you receive from us--development 
of the library itself, as well as our effort to provide documentation 
and example code--is directly tied to your demonstration of support for us.

My field of study in political science is voluntary citizen 
organizations, so I know all about the troubles organizations have 
getting people to pay for stuff that's free.  In response, I just want 
to say that our good will/volunteer labor is not really a free 
commodity.  You need to earn it.  If you need help, you should give help 
too.

After you think that over, write back to swarm-support and tell us about 
your problem, but with more detailed information. Tell us:

1. What kind of OS you have?
2. Did you build hdf5 and blt by yourself?
3. When you built swarm, what was your configure line?
4. Did you build swarm with a patched version of gcc3, as is required?
5. After installing swarm, can you run heatbugs or any of the garden 
varieties of swarmapp?
