Re: rpm installation of SWARM on Linux

[xli]

Paul,

Thanks a lot for prompt response, Paul.  This time I tried with 
blt-2.4-e (because the last time I tried blt-8 and it didn't work), 
and I came up with a different error message:

/usr/bin/ld: cannnot open -lXpm: No such file or directory

I thought presumably Xpm is already there or not a must (it is not in 
your list of .rpm files).  Do I need to add XPM library in this case? 
The problem with "libtkobjc.so" has dispeared this time.

Any suggestion?
