Re: [Swarm-Support] missing simtoolsgui classes RH 9.0

[Paul Johnson]

Hard to believe the objc apps do this too. That seems to indicate Swarm 
itself is not installed properly.

I'd use the

rpm -V swarm

or check against the swarm.rpm with -Vp to make sure it is installed 
correctly.

Or reinstall that rpm completely, then  untar a fresh copy of the newest 
swarmapps you can get and try

make

If you still get that error, I'd like to see the output of make and a 
gdb backtrace.


Now, on the java side, I think your message here exposes that you are 
not using Swarm with Java as intended.  That's probably why you had that 
class path problem.  I'm looking here:


http://www.ku.edu/~pauljohn/SwarmFaq/SwarmOnlineFaq.html#6.4

where it says to build the program do

javacswarm *.java

and to run the compiled program youdo

javaswarm StartHeatbugs

These programs set the CLASSPATH for you and will solve that other 
problem you had before.

It has been a while since I used Java, I'm having trouble remembering if 
there is a wrinkle depending on which java you have installed.  I am 
totallly sure the swarm-jdk rpm assumes you have a specific edition of 
the jdk. I hate that feature, but because of the way jdk is packaked, 
there's no alternative.  I don't even have swarm-jdk installed now, but 
I recall there was some need to diddle the javaswarm script to point at 
the right j2sdk or such. But it will be obvious. 

I know on windows there was an alternative script jdkswarm, but I don't 
think I ever packaged that for Linux.
