We've been discussing this in the swarm-hackers list. blt does not work
with tcl/tk 8.5. Run any of the blt demos on your system you'll see they
don't work.  They will draw the initial window. Nut they all crash as
soon as you try to interact with the graph on screen.

I've built debian packages for testing and will upload them tomorrow.
I'll post here about that once I double-check my work.  I'm going of the
debian building strategy mapped out by Masayuki Hatta on October 21,
2008 in this list.  His debian packages are here:


He wrote "You can obtain them from:

http://www.mhatta.org/debian/swarm

Actually it's apt-gettable, so adding

deb http://www.mhatta.org/debian/swarm ./
deb-src http://www.mhatta.org/debian/swarm ./

to /etc/apt/sources.list should also work."


Assuming you want to build your own Swarm, here's how.

Remove the blt that comes with Ubuntu 8.10 and install the blt that was
available for 8.04.  Install tcl-dev 8.4, NOT 8.5. I'm creating a blt
package that will work only against your tcl 8.4 version and so it won't
crash and I'll version number it so that the apt updater does not keep
trying to replace it with the newer broken blt.

In your configure line for Swarm, do not tell it tcl or tk 8.5, rather
we need 8.4.



Also, there is a test version of swarm-2.3.0 that Scott Christley put
together.  That's the version I've successfully built. As far as I know,
the most correct version is always in here:

http://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/swarm

You appear to be missing some devel packages. You need libtool and
gperf.  Note where the output says "command not found".

I can't tell if your ggg has the objective C support that you need.
Check for the packages "gobjc" and "libobjc2" or such.  In Synaptic, if
you search for "objective" those things pop up.
