"OK, it took some fiddling, but I was finally able to get the 2002-05-14 
snapshot to compile and run on Solaris 8 on SPARC hardware. I'm writing this as 
feedback to the Swarm community with a few lessons learned.

I used the following software components:

* gcc 3.0.2 with the objc.diffs patch from Jan 10, 2002
* blt 2.4y with the blt*.tcl files accessible through the BLT_LIBRARY
environment variable
* tcl/tk 8.3.4
* xpm 3.4k
* zlib 1.1.3
* libpng 1.0.6
* jdk 1.4.0
* emacs 21.1
* binutils 2.9.1
* GNU sed 3.0.2
* gperf 2.7
* hdf5 1.4.8

My Swarm development language is Java and I'm using the Sun Java compiler and 
runtime environment.

I had major issues getting the swarm.jar to build properly. The Swarm 
compilation to native code went just fine. The part of the build that uses 
emacs to run java-stub.el, where the Java stubs get built, failed if I tried to 
build Swarm with any version of gcc except 3.0.2 with the patch. Previous 
postings on this mailing list made it quite clear that 3.0.2 with the patch was 
necessary. Getting gcc 3.0.2 to build was the major time sink because I kept 
running into issues with the assembler and linker."

Summary:  Cordump on Solaris 2.6 during install/test

Original Submission:  swarm-2.1.1 on Solaris 2.6
I installed swarm from the sources and then tried to
test the installation. (It would be nice to have a simple "hello world" as part 
of the install package, so I can test it before I install it.
Anyhow - v01 of hello-world cordumped. My installation probably isn't right, 
but now I have to see what I did wrong.  Perhaps one of my packages is an older 
version.
Any help would be appreciated, but a better error message would be nice here.


gdb says
Starting program: 
/local/src/Swarm/swarmapps-2.1.1/hello-world/v01/.libs/hello-world 
warning: Unable to find dynamic linker breakpoint function.
warning: GDB will be unable to debug shared library initializers
warning: and track explicitly loaded dynamic code.

Program received signal SIGBUS, Bus error.

Firstly, best to try a snapshot release, 2.1.1 is still the stable release, but 
it's getting old and we're unlikely to backport fixes to it, snapshot releases 
can be found at:

ftp://ftp.swarm.org/pub/swarm/src/testing/

and the latest is: swarm-2002-05-14.tar.gz

Also make sure that you have all the dependencies installed, do you have Tcl/Tk 
and BLT for example?
