You don't say what version/distribution of Linux, and I don't know if we 
are supporting gcc-3.1 or not.  I don't think it will work unless you 
patch gcc-3.1 and I don't know that a patch has been developed.  It is 
necessary to build swarm, in the way that we have described in this list 
many times in the last 6 months.

So I don't mean to say you will ever get this to work.  But I can tell 
the problem you see is that the libgcc shared library is not being 
found, presumably because it is not in a directory that is in you 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.  So either edit /etc/ld.so.conf or fix your environment 
to add the gcc-3.1's lib directory to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

If you are using RedHat or its cousins, I have the gcc-3.0.4 rpms and 
rpms for hdf5 and swarm test versions. That's by far easier than going 
down the path you are on.  But if you get it to work, fire us a note.
