Swarm-gcj does work on Redhat 8.0

[Paul E. Johnson]

I just installed the swarm and swarm-gcjswarm rpms I built along with 
the gcc and gcj rpms I built for RH8 on a clean machine.

Then I downloaded the jheatbugs

ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/apps/java/sdg/testing/jheatbugs-2001-03-28.tar.gz

and in that directory I succeed in compiling jheatbugs with these commands.

I mean these commands exactly.

$  export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/swarm:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

$ CLASSPATH=/usr/share/swarm/swarm.jar:$CLASSPATH gcj -O2 -g 
--main=StartHeatbugs -o model *.java /usr/lib/swarm/gcjswarm.so

I see no error messages, the file "model" appears in my directory.

and to run the model:

$ ./model

I can't say what's going wrong with your makefile approach you describe 
below, all I can say is the way I wrote it above does work for me.
