Re: installing 1.4.1 on SuSE Linux 6.1

[Benedikt Stefansson]

On Suse 6.0 I needed to do a softlink (ln -s source target) for tk or
tcl stuff into /usr/lib or /usr/local/lib. One or the other wasn't
there. Sorry to be so vague about this, I don't have access to the
machine right now, nor is it connected to the Internet but ldd and the
backtrace from gdb should point you to where Swarm expects wish and the
libraries to be. Once I figured this out everything ran without a hitch.

Good luck,
Benedikt
