Problems making Swarm 2.1.1 under Linux-Mandrake8.0

[Steven Kembel]

Greetings all,

Apologies if this problem has been solved before. I've done a search of the 
mailing list archives and didn't find any solutions.

I'm trying to compile, make and install Swarm 2.1.1 from the 
swarm-2.1.1.tar.gz file on a system running Linux Mandrake 8.0. I have 
checked and all the needed software is installed on my system, although in 
some cases the versions on my system are slightly newer than those required 
by Swarm. I'm running gcc and gcc-objc 2.96, with the Sun JDK 1.3.1 installed.

There are no problems when I run ./configure, but when it comes time to make, 
I get frequent "objc/objc-list.h:147:8: warning: extra tokens at end of 
#endif directive" warning messages in a file included from obj/runtime.h:43, 
and from sendmsg.c, and the make eventually exits due to the following error:

I am not a C programmer and so have no idea how to solve this problem. I 
appreciate any suggestions you can provide.
