Hi, Jakson,
Thank you for your reply. I have followed your advice and that web page have helped me successfully compile swarm-2.2 on my Ubuntu 5.1. Now I know before compiling, I have to have the following packages on my computer first:
gobj
emacs21
gperf
blt-dev
libxpm-dev
libpng12-dev, and
libhdf5-serial-dev
and of course their required packages also a must. jdk is optional. It is worth note that there may be some conflicting packages exist (I ever tried to install deb package of swarm-2.1.1 and it always prompts me errors when I compile the sample programs. Its installation has required to install these conflicting packages.)and this could lead to compiling error. I have one such problem and it confused me quite much in the previous couple of days. But I have synaptic and after the remove of a few installed packages it helped me fix it.
I did not use the cvs version of swarm-2.2. I only compiled the official one. After commenting that line in mframe.m and correcting the conflicting package problem, make does its work finally. I do not know much about cvs and so I did not get one and compile it successfully. I tried to copy downloaded cvs files to cover the official one's old files. But during the compiling, it just prompts me that automake-1.9 is needed and even I got the automake-1.9 installed, it still tells that. I think I will need to know more about cvs and see if it's the automake's problem.
