Yes, I posted the solution in swarm-support list.

In Ubuntu's JDK version, there is an empty directory i386 under bin, and 
if you delete that swarm will build correctly.

My email was entitled "Ubuntu Solution (was RE: [Swarm Support] Trouble 
with Java Interface) on 8/27/2008. 

Since I don't know how the archives for this list work now, I cant point 
you there, but I can paste in the message here:



This concerns the missing class files error that is reported on Ubuntu 
efforts to build Swarm with Java.

I spent the last 2 days tracking this Ubuntu problem. Yesterday, I 
believe I found the solution.  I will make deb packages for it within a 
few days.  I'll announce them here.  I may do the quick and dirty 
"checkinstall" deb packages...

In case you want to build your own, here's the brief explanation.

There is a flaw in the Sun JDK that is packaged/distributed by Ubuntu. I 
discovered this by installing the JDK from the Sun website, against 
which Swarm does build, and then I compared the installed files between 
the JDK as offered by Ubuntu and the original from Sun.

In the jdk provided by the Ubuntu packager (sun-java6-jdk), there are 
two directories named native_threads

$ find /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/ -name "native_*"
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/bin/i386/native_threads
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/lib/i386/native_threads

and one is empty:

$ ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/bin/i386/native_threads/
$ ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.06/jre/lib/i386/native_threads/
libhpi.so

this empty directory confuses the Swarm configure and leads to the build 
failures you noticed. In the JDK direct from Sun, there is no empty 
directory bin/i386.

After "rm /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6_07/bin/i386", the swarm configure, 
make, and install proceed fine, all java classes built.

I did this on Ubuntu 8.04 with their version of the Sun JDK1.6 installed.

I was working with a new test version of swarm, version 2.2.5, and if 
you want to, you can be a tester as well.  It is possible that it will 
work with 2.2.4 as well, but I did not try. After finding that 2.2.4 
failed in Ubuntu, I mistakenly thought there was some problem in the 
autoconf/automake stuff in Swarm-2.2.4 and I asked Marcus Daniels if he 
could make a newer code 'snapshot' for testing.  That 2.2.5 package is 
still a testing version, but it does build.

http://www.snoutfarm.com/swarm/swarm-2.2.5.tar.gz

$ tar xzvf swarm-2.2.5.tar.gz
$ cd swarm-2.2.25
$ mkdir builddir
$ cd builddir

$ ../configure --prefix=/opt/packages
--libdir=/opt/packages/lib --with-defaultdir=/usr
--with-jdkdir=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun
--enable-onelib --enable-subdirs --with-tcl=/usr/lib/tcl8.4
--with-tk=/usr/lib/tk8.4

$ make
$ sudo make install

This puts swarm in /opt/packages, so before compiling Swarm programs, 
you need to do

$ export SWARMHOME=/opt/packages

If I'm reading todays swarm-support mail correctly, it may also be 
needed to do this, but I don't have to do it on my system.

$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/opt/packages/lib

Look in this directory

http://pj.freefaculty.org/Swarm

for the logs of configure, make, and make install:

build-config-victory.txt

build-make-victory.txt

build-install-victory.txt
