Well, this is what we've managed to do so far:
* Installed all of the 'required packages' except libffi from
RPM. libffi appears to have been rolled into GCC now, but I
can't find it any longer (I thought I saw a reference to it
being deprecated). Anyway, I installed that from the last
source code tarball.
* Downloaded swarm.
* cd swarm-2.1.147.20030812
* ./configure --with-default-dir=/usr --with-ffidir=/usr/local
* make
make runs for awhile and comes back with the following:
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/swarm-2.1.147.20030812/src'
make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/swarm-2.1.147.20030812/src'
Makefile:378: *** missing separator. Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/swarm-2.1.147.20030812/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/swarm-2.1.147.20030812'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Looking back through the output from make, I see that it issues
warnings that 'automake' and 'autoconf' are missing on my system.
Except, that they are installed. The warnings do note that they are
only needed if I'm modifying some of the other files before I run
configure.
Anyway, that is the latest run. I have tried variations on this
earlier. I also tried fiddling with the RedHat RPM, but the newer
RPMs from RedHat really want to be installed on redhat. :-(
One of the attempts, I did try 'aclocal;automake;autoconf', thinking
that perhaps I could get a better configure input file. That didn't
really work any better. In fact, configure failed before it would
build the Makefile.
I blew away the directory and re-extracted from the tarball each time
to insure a clean build directory.
Any thoughts?
