Re: Installing SWARM on PPC-MkLinux (PowerMac Linux)

[Theodore C. Belding]

Hi-
What changes did you make to Symbol.m?  Did you apply the objc-960906 patch
to gcc and recompile it?  If you didn't, that may have caused the core
dump. You need to patch libtclobjc, too. I'm sending you my porting notes
separately, which I posted to this list earlier.  Hope that solves your
problem.
