Installing SWARM on PPC-MkLinux (PowerMac Linux)

[Jae Chan Oh]

Hi, all

I am trying to install swarm on Mk-Linux (Mach Linux system for PPC Macintosh).
Everything went pretty good except I'm having a problem compiling
Symbol.m under defobj directory.
The error is something to do with function va_start in <stdarg.h>.
When I compile swarm for Solaris2.4, I used the system distribution of 
<stdarg.h> not <stdarg.h> in gcc distribution.  That worked fine and the swarm 
is running on Solaris2.4 nicely.

However, in Mk-Linux, I don't have system distribution of <stdarg.h> so that
I'm using gcc distribution of <stdarg.h>.

Now, I'm getting the following errores in compiling Symbol.m.

The lines 119 and 143 invoke va_start. I can get around this problem by 
changingSymbol.m, but I get core dump in main(argc, argv).

Any person installed swarm on Linux. Then, any advices?

Thanks in advance

-Jae
