[Swarm-Support] compiling Swarm for Linux - scared

[Marshall, James A R]

Hi,
  looks like we're finally going to start using our high performance
computer centre to run batches of our model. Unfortunately it looks like I'm
going to have to get Swarm set up for our cluster, and it doesn't look like
the appropriate binary is available. The prospect of compiling Swarm scares
me from what I've heard of other people's troubles!
  A couple of questions from those who have been this way before then:
1) I need at least Swarm-2.2 pretest 6, for Redhat 7.2. Should I get
something straight from CVS? I can't see anything that looks like a
Swarm-2.2 pretest on ftp.swarm.org
2) has anyone compiled instructions for how to compile for this OS beyond
Paul Johnson's general guidelines in the FAQ?
3) any other useful hints that might save me some stress!?
        James
