Re: Newbie swarmapps problems.

[Paul Johnson]

I am absolutely certain this is due to a mismatch between gcc and Swarm. 
 If you did the RedHat up2date, I wonder if it removed the gcc I had 
you install and replaced it with another defective RedHat one.

RedHat 7.0 was in early 2001, and I'm having trouble remembering. I 
believe it was not until RedHat 7.2 that they started shipping both 
gcc-2.96 and gcc3 in the same distribution.  So in 7.0, I think the 
correct fix is to replace the RH gcc-2.96 with this set of packages:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/software/gcc-upgrades/3.0.1/

I think those install into /usr/local, so make sure /usr/local/bin is in 
your path and /usr/local/lib is listed in /etc/ld.so.conf.

I worry that you will get some harrassment about binutils on your system 
not being up to date, and if you see that, you might want to throw up 
your hands and  quit until you can install either RedHat 7.3 or RedHat 
8.0.  I've got working systems like that that I currently still use.
