Re: Compilation of Swarm-2.1.1 in Mandrake 9.0

[Paul E Johnson]

gcc 3.2 won't work. It has flaws in the handling of protocols.

You need either gcc-3.0.4 or gcc-3.3 (prerelease 2002-09-09 works for 
me).  If you want good results, you have to patch and build one of 
those, or you could try the rpms from my software directory. I tire of 
writing all this down over and over in the email list and I suspect if 
you search the archive over the past 2 months.  I should collect it all 
up and post somewhere, but the gcc situation seems so fluid that it is 
not worth the effort.

If you keep trying, don't do Swarm-2.1.1, but take a snapshot from the 
testing directory.

I have built gcc and swarm rpms, you need hdf5 rpm too.

My stuff is here

I think I saw somebody post indicating that the Swarm RPMs I built for 
RedHat do work on Mandrake.


Ah, I see Raniero Virgilio posted this:

Finally, I can use swarm and java in Linux!
I installed Mandrake 9.0 and the rpms from P.Johnson's page for RH 7.3.
Then I installed the jdk from Sun, version 1.4.1_01 (the bin, not the 
rpm) in /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.1_01

Then the following links:

/usr/local/j2sdk1.4.0 -> j2sdk1.4.1_01
/usr/lib/libtcl.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libtcl8.3.so
/usr/lib/libtk.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libtk8.3.so
/usr/lib/libpng.so.0 -> /usr/lib/libpng.so.3.1.2.4

Everything works fine, in obj-c and in java, much much faster than on 
Windows. And I have no problems with graphics (wich I used to have 
before, using RH 7.3 and jdk 1.4.0 and 1.4.1).

Hope this could be usefull for someone else.
