Need help installing swarm 2.0.1

[jalex]

Like a fool, I decided without any real reason to upgrade my working
swarm 1.4.1 distribution to swarm 2.0.1.  After spending several hours
not getting things to work, I'm asking for help.

Here's my current state of affairs:

1. I downloaded and installed the following RPMS from 
   ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/gcc/gcc-2.95.1/

   cpp-2.95.1-0.3.i386.rpm
   gcc-2.95.1-0.3.i386.rpm
   gcc-c++-2.95.1-0.3.i386.rpm
   gcc-objc-2.95.1-0.3.i386.rpm
   libstdc++-2.10.0-0.3.i386.rpm

   Since gcc-2.95 wants the newest version of binutils, I went to
   ftp://ftp.varesearch.com/pub/support/hjl/binutils, downloaded,
   and installed

   binutils-2.9.5.0.13-1.i386.rpm


2. I mosied over to ftp.santafe.edu/pub/swarm/redhat/RPMS/i386 
   and grabbed the following RPMS:

   swarm-hdf5-2.0.1-1.rh6.i386.rpm
   swarmdemos-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
   hdf5-1.2.0-1rh6.i386.rpm

   since I don't plan to do any java work right now.


3. I tried to install these three files.  As you can see, 
   swarm-hdf5 refuses to install because it needs egcs-objc:


address@hidden dl]# rpm -ivh hdf5-1.2.0-1rh6.i386.rpm
hdf5                        ##################################################
address@hidden dl]# rpm -ivh swarm-hdf5-2.0.1-1.rh6.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
        egcs-objc is needed by swarm-hdf5-2.0.1-1.rh6
address@hidden dl]# rpm -ivh swarmdemos-2.0.1-1.i386.rpm
swarmdemos                  ##################################################


   Isn't egcs-objc now _outdated_, given that egcs and gcc have merged?
   Shouldn't installing gcc-objc-2.95.1 do the same thing?


4. Since the swarmdemos seemed to install fine, I thought I would test 
   one:

address@hidden dl]$ heatbugs
Segmentation fault (core dumped)


_Any_ help someone could provide would be _very_ much appreciated.
