 After trying part time for (literally) a couple of years to build swarm on 
our 
solaris network here, Marcus very kindly logged in one weekend last fall 
and built a working version for us.   I will be happy to make the details 
available of what he did to get the working version available, as much as 
I'm able.  He didn't leave a step by step list of what he did, but I do have 
the config and makefiles, as well as a list of which versions of what 
software packages he used in the build.

In our swarm directory, marcus built versions of gcc, tcl, tk, and everything 
else.  Every time I tried to build swarm, I ended up with conflicts with 
incompatible versions of something or other (usually tcl/tk).  I will be 
happy to share config, make, or anything else short of giving strangers 
login access to our accounts.

The versions of the packages that he used on our system was (reading 
from the directory):
