Re: Swarm help

[Paul E Johnson]

Go here

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH8.0/

read directions.

you need to install these 2, and whatever prerequisitees they need.
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH8.0/swarm-jdk-2.1.141.20021019-2RH8.0.i386.rpm
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH8.0/swarm-2.1.141.20021019-2RH8.0.i386.rpm

If it asks for any rpms when you install, then get them.  In particular, 
get jikes and blt from RH7.3's distribution.  The rpm install process 
may ask for miscellaneous packages you are lacking. For sure you need 
emacs, glibc-devel, gcc, gcc-objc, libgcc, and other things it might ask 
for.

The jdk copy I have is just the one I used, if you want to use my swarm 
rpm, install that.  You can gamble on whatever sun offers now, they seem 
to change and relabel every week. As I said in the readme on that page, 
it pisses me off, this whole business with the way Sun packages their stuff.

If you need more help, join the Swarm Development Group (www.swarm.org) 
and ask in the swarm-support email list.
