I didn't build the RPMs with a modified compiler.  And I didn't rebuild
the compiler because, hey, people should be using Java anyway and 
I've got enough to do without waiting around for bootstraps of GCC to
finish on 130mhz macs.

If they do work, then get a backtrace of your app like so:

  gdb .libs/yourapp
  (gdb) run
  (gdb) bt

The modified compiler is for building Swarm itself, not applications.

It depends on your shell, but if you are using bash, i.e. if you get a number
when you say:

echo $BASH_VERSION

Then you can set SWARMHOME by adding this:

export SWARMHOME=/usr

..to either .bash_profile or .bash_login.  You'll probably have the former.
