Re: Some newbie questions on swarm

[Tobias Krebs]

I have made the experience that the development snapshots of swarm do not 
compile on both SuSE Linux 7.3 and SuSE 8.1 (maybe some problems with 
gcc3). However, the stable version compiles on SuSE 7.3 and works if copied 
into a SuSE 8.1 System (some files from the BLT-Package have to be copied too).
