Re: [Swarm-Support] Error in install (RH 7.1)

[Paul Johnson]

You are going to need gcc-3.0.4 or better.  I'd recommend that you take 
the step of updating your RedHat to at least 7.3.

7.1 was a long time ago. I still have online notes from those days

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.x_RPMSforRH7/

It reminds me of lots of hassles.

If you make the minimal upgrade to RH 7.3 (it is free software, you 
know), then I have online RPMS for Swarm newer than the snap you are 
trying to build:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH7.3/swarm-2.1.143.20030512-1RH7.3.i386.rpm

If you read that directory's header information, it has some crapola 
about gcc and j2sdk gyrations that can be used.  I do have RPMs you can 
use for gcc in case you want to compile, but I don't think you should. I 
think you should try those RPMS.

Last week I upgraded that system to RH9, so now all my systems are RH 9 
and I'm not able to make any more RH7.3 RPMS.  But if you upgrade to 
RH7.3, then you could!
