[Swarm-Support] Installation problems on RedHat 9 Linux (Intel)

[Kenneth Benoit]

Dear Swarm Experts,

A colleague and I have a major Swarm project (a series of political
simulations of party evolution) developed in Swarm on a Windows
platform, and wish to port it to an office Linux machine.  We went to
the development page and tried to download the latest rpm's, but ran
quickly into problems.  See the detailed list below.

The linux machine's specs:
   RedHat 9, freshly installed from CD images
   j2re-1.4.1_03-fcs   (downloaded and installed from Sun)

 From the Swarm development software page I installed:
   blt-2.4u-7.i386.rpm              OK
   hdf5-1.4.5post2-1RH90.i386.rpm   OK
   jikes-1.18-1.i386.rpm)           OK

But then when I tried to install:
   swarm-jdk-2.1.138.20020423-1.i386.rpm

I got the following error message:

address@hidden root]# rpm -Uvh swarm-jdk-2.1.138.20020423-1.i386.rpm

Can anyone tell me how/where I can get swarm-base?  I haven't been able
to locate this anywhere.  Or perhaps I have some different problem?

Many thanks for any assistance.  I don't subscribe to any Swarm lists so
please (also) reply directly to my e-mail address above.

Ken
