Re: compile errors on swarm-2002-05-14

They're prominent enough, just give us some indication that these are indeed 
rpms of the latest version.  The files are named 2.1.date and while the date is 
recent, I wasn't assured that the date reflected the development snapshot and 
not simply the date on the rpm build.  Rpms are typically behind development. 
Perhaps a third level version number on the development and rpms would remove 
confusion.

In any case, I have, as a test, successfully compiled the source as well as 
installed the rpms. Both work.
