 However, when I do a 'make check', it gives me an error right away in directory …./tests/activity: 'Swarm/tactivity.h: No such file or directory'.  I'm doing this on an Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy heron) OS in 32-bit mode.

 

I believe you can avoid that problem by doing an out-of-source build.   e.g.

mkdir $B/swarm-2.4.0
cd $B/swarm-2.4.0
$S/swarm-2.4.0/configure --srcdir=$S/swarm-2.4.0

The tag 2.4.0 on source code tarballs is somewhat misleading -- there is no real SDG release of a 2.4 version.  There was a 2.3 release that preceded some major internal restructuring related to Objective C portability, and the Swarm/ directories related to the build failure you see is more-or-less the development trunk.    Beware there are other things that don't fully work in the 2.4 / trunk code.  For example, objects stored in HDF5 files that lack predefined classes no longer load.
