Hi Paul, hi Pietro,

Just one question.

Today i've try to install swarm on Lubuntu 14.04 (x64, I ant to use as much as possible of the ram of this computer and Lubuntu utilizes the less resoureces). I've used the .gdb files un the Swarm 13.10  because they are the x64 version. The .gdb files installed smoothly, but when I've try to compile Mausetrap or any other from the swarmapps-2.3.0/objc

 (since my code is in "old" objective-c) 

I could not compile them. I obtain this:

I have installed different versions of gcc from 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8

"gcc --version" give me:

address@hidden:~/SWARM/swarmapps-2.3.0/objc$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.2-19ubuntu1) 4.8.2

ALSO, THANK YOU VERY MUCH PAUL TO KEEP SWARM ALIVE!
