Re: Errors after Swarm install on LinuxPPC

[Darren Schreiber]

Ok... my understanding is that the stddef.h and other missing files 
were in the glibc-devel package.  I downloaded these files and 
installed them using the commands below.  I also tried to update gdb. 
I just downloaded a newer xxgdb rpm and will install it next.

I tried compiling (logged in as a user - I usually don't do anything 
but install as root) and got the same set of errors as before.

Ralf mentioned that I need to use an include command in configuring. 
I am not sure what that syntax (or even better, the exact phrasing) 
would be.

So, what is correct commands that I should have been using to install 
glibc-devel (did I not install it in the right place?)  and/or how do 
I tell swarm where the stddef.h and other files are?

Thanks in advance for suffering through my stumbling attempts to 
learn just enough Linux to use Swarm.
