They are different things.

You need to have Emacs 20 installed and the gperf program and in your
PATH.  They are are available from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/{emacs,gperf}.

I'd suggest you get today's 2001-04-02 snapshot and build that after
making sure Emacs and gperf are available.  These tools are used to
create the perfect-hash lookup that associates Java packages with
Swarm modules, which is what is causing your crash.

(Note that these snapshots are not releases.  It is expected that
people that build these will be prepared to investigate minor build
problems like this.)
