Did you try the suggestions in the FAQ?

2.1.7. Swarm crashes when running test applications (common
Tcl problem)
1.Question: Swarm seemed to compile/install fine, but
when I run an application, it crashes and I get a
message like this:
could not find a usable init.tcl in the following
directories ..... This probably means that Tcl wasn't
install properly
Answer: Assuming you did install Tcl properly, this
happens because Swarm can't find libraries that it
needs. It does not happen with the archive install
method, assuming everything is setup right in
Makefile.conf. Binary installation users, however,
probably need to create ENVIRONMENT variables.
If it is the only problem in your setup, you can fix
without recompiling Swarm by changing your environment
variables. First, find those libraries in your file
system, then set the environment variable TCL_LIBRARY
equal to the path where you found that file. The same
should probably be done for TK. Depending on the sort of
Unix you have, you may need to put these in either
.profile or .bash_profile. Explicit instructions for
environment variables for binary users are shown in
"binary installation procedure" above.
