swarm install problem

[Tony Kalus]

Hello,

  Can you help me with a problem I have installing and using Swarm? 

I am using a Slackware Linux system , so I'm trying to do an archive
install of swarm-1.4.1 

I already have tcl7.4, tk4.0, and blt1.8 from other applications. I'm
also using gcc2.7.2 with  libobjc.a 

I obtained all the other libraries (zlib, libpng, libffi) from your
web pages. I didn't have any problems  installing any of these, in
fact, they all went very smoothly. Encouraged by this I then tried to
build swarm itself. However, when I run the make, after the
./configure, I get the following errors:

..........(it goes along quite happily until it gets to
swarm/src/tclobjc).........

I worked around this by removing the -Werror flag from the gcc flags.
This *seemed* to work OK but did give me the following message:

internal.m: In function `tkobjc_animate_message':
internal.m:337: warning: implicit declaration of function `Tcl_Sleep'

I did a make install, which seemed to put everything in the right
place  but when I try to run any of the swarmapps I get the following
error when running the make (swarmhome=/usr/local):

Obviously this ties up with the previous warning but I don't know what
to do about it!!

Do you have any ideas - I seem to be so close to getting it all to
work :-(

  Many Thanks,
