Re: [Swarm-Support] swarm installation problems

[Paul Johnson]

Hey, Jeff:

I'm Iowa MA 1983.  Go hawks.

Looks to me as though your administrator has installed it incorrectly. 
In the Swarm Faq (http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/)
we have a list of questions and advices on things like this.  We need to 
know what kind of linux, what install steps were taken, etc.  The 
install from source code is not simple and unless system administrators 
exert some care, the install does not end correctly.

If you are using an RPM based Linux, I have packages for 
Swarm-2.2prerelease that you should run instead of 2.1.1.  If you want 
me to try to find out what is wrong on your system,  you could create a 
user account and email me a password.

In case you want to try to bug shoot, here's where I'd start.

The error indicates that the dynamic loader does not find the swarm 
library.  It could be the library got installed somewhere off the beaten 
path.  If you find out where that location is, add that directory to 
your library path (say, /usr/local/Swarm/lib) like

# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/Swarm/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and then try your make.  It could be as simple that.
