Re: [Swarm-Support] compiling Swarm for Linux - scared

In that case, I think you should just (as a regular user) build it and 
the RPM for them and let them install it.  Sys admins around here are 
quite notoriously impatient.

I still have up a gcc edition that you need:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/gcc-upgrades/3.0.4RH72/

The patch is in that directory in case you need to apply it yourself.
