Re: [Swarm-Support] Swarm installation problem: on Windows XP Home

[Yifeng Zhang]

Pietro, thank you very much for helping me.  I did have a full installation of Cygwin.  Did somebody you know have a sucessful installation of Swarm-2.2 on Windows recently?  It's tricky even just to install Cygwin.  The Cygwin's setup.exe hangs during post-installation script phase.  I worked around by selecting "pre" (previous) packages for installation.  After Cywin is working, I run setup.exe again and selected "cur" (current), which updated/installed some more packages.  In both installation, I had a full installation (selecting "install" for "all").  Because of this unhappy experience with Cygwin installation, I am kind of hestitate to install it again.  But I'll do it if it's necessary.

 

Again, any help on this will be appreciated.

        It seems like you don't have a full installation of Cygwin; try it, assuring that the choice screen is similar to the attached one.

        Anyway, use pretest 10.

        All the best, Pietro

Hi all:

I have been trying to install Swarm in the past several days and hit some problems.  My computer has Windows XP Home in it.  I successfully installed all Cygwin packages (the lastest version) and it is working.  Then I installed Swarm-2.2-pretest-10, which is the latest version at this time.  I set the mount and path correctly.  However, when I run heatbugs, I get the error message that "cygtcl80.dll was not found".  I then tried to install the package tcktk-20001125 which contains the needed dll.  However, the current Cygwin setup.exe doesn't allow me to install it.  I also tried pretest-9 and pretest-6 and wasn't able to make it.  I can't uncompress pretest-7.  Don't know if it's my problem or the file was corrupted.  I am trying pretest-8 now. 

I have an ongoing project implemented in Swarm.  So I really need swarm up and running.  Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
