Dr. Johnson,
I'm a very new swarm user as I'm being included in a project with the
University at Buffalo School of Management OHR and MSS/MIS departments....
and I'm really stuck here.
I installed Linux 7.3 on an older Gateway system, included all of the
applications which are recommended on your site as well as the Swarm site
[tcl/tk, gdb, XFree86, blt, and so forth]- basically I followed the
directions in your FAQs, section 2.5. I used the binary files you provided
on your site:
gcc3-3.0.4-2pj.i386.rpm
gcc3-objc-3.0.4-2pj.i386.rpm
libgcc-3.0.4-2pj.i386.rpm
hdf5-1.4.3-1RH73.i386.rpm
swarm-2.1.140.20020514-1.i386.rpm
I used the rpm tool, and everything seemed to build correctly. No errors,
no dependencies problems. Next, I tried to install the example applications
from the swarm site. I put them in /home/adrensel/swarm on my system, and
used make to compile heatbugs and mousetrap and the compilation occured with
no errors. When I go to run heatbugs I issue the command
./heatbugs
it seems to start executing [there is a pause and the hard drive runs for a
bit] and then I get the response: Illegal instruction.
Is there any way you could give me a hint or idea about how to pursue
finding the problem here? I've reinstalled the complete O/S, and everything
else 3 times and I'm still having this problem.
Thanks for the help. Your Swarm site is excellent, I was invaluable to me
in getting this far.
