Re: [Swarm-support] Swarm packages for Ubuntu 13.10/14.04

[Paul Johnson]

Hello, David

I suspect you have the wrong gcc, probably the wrong blt, but you don't
say how you installed swarm or blt or gcc, so I can't guess what you
have wrong..

A while ago I built debian packages for Ubunutu and wrote a long blah
blah blah about it. http://pj.freefaculty.org/blog/?p=263

If you still have trouble, write back with a list of things you
installed, especially gcc & swarm
