[Swarm-Support] Prblems encountered when Installing swarm -2.2 on Ubuntu 5.1 solved

[benutzer]

 Hi, Jakson,



Thank you for your reply. I have followed your advice and that web page
have helped me successfully compile swarm-2.2 on my Ubuntu 5.1. Now I
know before compiling, I have to have the following packages on my
computer first:



gobj

emacs21

gperf

blt-dev

libxpm-dev

libpng12-dev, and

libhdf5-serial-dev



and of course their required packages also a must. jdk is optional. It
is worth note that there may be some conflicting packages exist (I ever
tried to install deb package of swarm-2.1.1 and it always prompts me
errors when I compile the sample programs. Its installation has
required to install these conflicting packages.)and this could lead to
compiling error. I have one such problem and it confused me quite much
in the previous couple of days. But I have synaptic and after the
remove of a few installed packages it helped me fix it.



I did not use the cvs version of swarm-2.2. I only compiled the
official one. After commenting that line in mframe.m and correcting the
conflicting package problem, make does its work finally. I do not know
much about cvs and so I did not get one and compile it successfully. I
tried to copy downloaded cvs files to cover the official one's old
files. But during the compiling, it just prompts me that automake-1.9
is needed and even I got the automake-1.9 installed, it still tells
that. I think I will need to know more about cvs and see if it's the
automake's problem.



Thanks again for your kind help.



Jerry
