You appear to have no Developer Tools installed.  You need to sign on 
(free) to ADC on the Apple web site.  Then login and download and install 
the following in this order:
December 2002 MacOS X Developer Tools
August 2003 gcc updater
Java 1.4.1 Developer Tools update

After installing the Apple stuff, install the new gcc-3.3Apple compiler 
from the Swarm site.  If you do it the other way around, Apple's installer 
will overwrite our patched compiler.

Finally set up your environment as described in the README.MacOS X by 
creating a file .tcshrc in your home directory.  Note this only applies to 
shell windows in the Terminal app.  The environment for an xterm window 
started under X11 is different.

Open a new terminal window and type:
printenv

The last few lines of what you see should look like:
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.2
SWARMHOME=/usr/local/swarm2.2p
DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/tcl8.4.4/lib:/usr/local/tk8.4.4/lib:/usr/local/blt2.4z/lib:/usr/local/png_1.2.5/lib:/usr/local/hdf5_1.4.5p2/lib:/usr/local/swarm2.2p/lib
DISPLAY=:0.0

You need X11.  Just get and install the Apple version as this will be 
included in MacOSX 10.3.

With all this done, you should be able to build Swarm apps.

In order for a GUI app to run, you also need to start X11 before trying to 
run the app.
