Re: Swarm-2.1.1.tar.gz on Red Hat 7.3

[Paul Johnson]

If you are new to linux, why not spare yourself some hassle. I hope you 
are not building all those packages by hand, because they are included 
with the RH distribution and if you install manually, you will surely 
break some stuff they system has. If your RedHat system is brand new, 
and you have indeed hand-installed tcl/tk and all that other stuff you 
list, you should consider erasing and reinstalling Redhat,and after that 
do everything possible to avoid being root and typing anything like 
"make install". Rather, you ought to learn how to build RPM packages so 
that you don't fould up  your computer.

Supposing you installed blt, tcl/tk, libpng from the RH disk in RPM 
form, then all you need is to install some more RPMS.

I keep new RPMS for Swarm users in my account:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/Swarm-2.2x_RPMSforRH7.3/

Note you will need hdf5 as well as whatever swarm bits you want. Its in 
there. You will also need some gcc3 rpms, and you can get them in here.

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/miscSupportSoftware/gcc-upgrades/3.0.4RH72/

You don't need all the gcc3 packages, but you need some, and when you 
try to install my RPM of swarm, it will tell you which. for sure you need:

http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/miscSupportSoftware/gcc-upgrades/3.0.4RH72/gcc3-3.0.4-2pj.i386.rpm
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/miscSupportSoftware/gcc-upgrades/3.0.4RH72/gcc3-objc-3.0.4-2pj.i386.rpm
http://lark.cc.ku.edu/~pauljohn/Swarm/miscSupportSoftware/gcc-upgrades/3.0.4RH72/libgcc-3.0.4-2pj.i386.rpm

For a totally inexplicable and baffling reason, RH 7.3 omitted gcc3, 
even though they had it in RH7.2.

Previously I had swarm built with nonstandard libpng, but now I think 
the libpng that RH supplies should make it work.
