I tried this, and I got the exact same error.

I tried them a long time ago on my other computer. They didn't work
because the default gcc with yellowdog doesn't have the objective-c parts.
I recompiled gcc, and then just went ahead and compiled swarm, and it
worked fine. I don't know what I'm doing differently.

If you have any other suggestions, I appreciate it. But it's not a big
deal, as I wanted Swarm on my iBook just as a temporary thing, and by now
there's not too much point in it. It would be nice to know how to fix
this, though.
