and again: installing swarm on SuSE 5.2

[Lorenz Gygax]

Dear all,

after my last mail and reading in the archives on seg faults I realized
that the zlib and libpng on my system were older than what was proposed
for swarm 1.3 Thus I made another attempt to create these libs and header
files in /usr/local/. With some help I finally succeeded in installing
zlib 1.1.3 and libpng 1.0.2. 

then again in the swarm distribution directory: make, make install
which ran fine.

Heatbugs compiled but when I start it, it seg still faults. (I have
included the output of ldd heatbugs, gdb heatbugs and the bt in gdb at the
end of the mail. By the way does anybody know a good source in where and
how to learn what the output of gdb actually means?) 

I am not sure where I should try to head. Shall I continue with this
installation from sratch (which somehow seems pretty close to working) or
should I rather try to figure out the installation via the rpm's?

Thank you for all yor thoughts! Lorenz
