Re: Building Swarm on Linux

[John Eikenberry [MSAI]]

I too had a problems getting BLT to compile on Linux. It turned out that 
there were some problems with BLT linking with Tcl/Tk.  I don't 
remember the fix right now, but I have it on my linux ai/alife mini-howto
page. Take a look at:

I hope this helps.
