OK, so I had two problems:  too new a version of gcc (2.96-69), and too old
a version of hdf5 (1.2.2).  I excercised my computer this afternoon by
installing GCC 2.95-3 from source, then installing hdf5-1.4.0 from source,
then trying to rebuild Swarm from source.  I got a lot farther with Swarm
this time, but still not all the way--it can't seem to find a
"swarm_lookup_module".  See "make" errors below.
