Re: [Swarm-Support] Swarm install and gcc

[Paul Johnson]

I have rpms available for RH9.  If you have admin privileges, I suggest 
you take the easy route.

I built that with gcc-3.3, but it will install into your system and 
mostly work fine.  If your programs define protocols, then you may get 
warnings.

If you want to build Swarm yourself, you need 3.3.1.  Or an older gcc. 
Just not 3.2, which has many problems.  People say you can get swarm to 
build if you make it ignore warnings.

Once I was in the Redhat rawhide dir and found gcc-3.3 that was 
compatible with the other RH binaries, but since then, when I go back, I 
find the gcc they have is not compatible with existing binutils.  Even 
if you get past that, the c++ stdlib things for gcc 3.3 are not the same 
as the 3.2 ones, so lots of programs you may have installed will not 
work.  So upgrading the gcc in the main system tree is a potential 
problem. You can build it in a user dir though, if you have enough 
time/hard disk space.
