Re: Errors after Swarm install on LinuxPPC

[Darren Schreiber]

I installed the new snapshot, which works fine.  Thanks.

Also, after being unable to use the startx command within GNOME, 
which boots by default, I read up and realized that GNOME was 
responsible for my color problems.  Rather than bothering to fix it, 
I just switched to KDE and heatbugs and other raster based 
simulations run just fine.

Finally, I uninstalled Swarm from my Win98 computer at the law school 
and reinstalled it to solve the problems I was having at the end of 
last month.  This works well also.

So... end of happy tail... I now have two fully capable Swarm setups 
and can get back to coding.  My next projects are a "schema" 
simulation of political cognition and a simulation based on Marx's 
Dialectical Materialism.  Thanks again for all the help.
