Re: installation problems on sun network

[Paul Box]

This objc_malloc is confusing me now.  When I run the ./configure
script from the swarm source directory, I get the following line:

--- (bunch of lines) ---
...
checking for GCC inlining bug... no
checking for Objective C libraries... -lobjc
checking for objc_malloc... (cached) no
checking for 0x prefix from %p... no

... (finish configure and create makefiles)

---

I assume that this means that it is checking for objc_malloc, finding
none, and decides that it needs to provide its own.

However, when I try to make swarm from this configure, I get the
following: 

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I./../misc -I/usr/local/include 
-I/usr/local/include -I/auto/d2/gnu/include -DList=TclObjcList

As I'm interpreting this, after it provided its own version of
objc_malloc, it is now finding another version existing, and
complaining that there are now two versions running around.

Is that a correct interpretation?  If so, what do I do about it?
Where are the conflicts?
