Re: [Swarm-Support] Problems installing Drone

[Mukul Patil]

 Thanks for the reply, I put back the
APPLIBS=$(EXPTOOLSPATH)/libUM-ExpTools-4.a line (minus -lspace) and now
'make' runs beautifully. I already had ExpTools installed. Drone runs fine
too and all the report files are being generated as expected. However
there still is a glitch. In the email that I get on completion of the
experiment, instead of an 'Experiment Finished' and the time taken I get an 
error, the entire text of which is as follows:

Subject: Experiment experiment-23 ERROR
Experiment experiment-23: DoLocalCmd: child process exited abnormally
while executing
"error "DoLocalCmd: $cmdResult""
    invoked from within
"if [catch {eval exec $cmd} cmdResult] {
        error "DoLocalCmd: $cmdResult"
    }"
    (procedure "DoLocalCmd" line 8)
    invoked from within
"DoLocalCmd $outputPath $cmd"
    (procedure "DoOneRun" line 53)
invoked from within
"DoOneRun $inputPath $outputPath $run $curSweepValues"
    (procedure "DoCase" line 18)
    invoked from within
"DoCase $curSweepValues"
    (procedure "DoSweepRecursion" line 23)
    invoked from within
"DoSweepRecursion $curVar $curSweepValues"
    (procedure "DoSweep" line 26)
    invoked from within
"DoSweep     "


 Everything else seems to be running fine, so what could be the reason for
this?

 Incidently I still have omitted references to the other dynamic
libraries, it seems the program doesn't really need them. If I put them
back I get a complain that all those .so files couldn't be found in
/usr/lib/swarm/. Infact the only .so file I have in /usr/lib/swarm/ is
libswarm.so (Version 0.0.0). 'rpm -ql swarm' also shows that as the only
library file installed. Is that the way it should be or am I missing
something?


                                                        Thank You,
                                                        Mukul Patil.
