Re: [Swarm-Support] intel mac swarm trouble

[Brandon M. Gabler]

To clarify my rushed response from earlier (I was on my way out the 
door to the
airport), I installed the mac packages and followed the instructions as posted
on the Intel Mac wiki. The error I submitted was from the Objective C Heatbugs
program from Paul Johnson's collection. This model has operated 
properly before
on this very computer, but I reformatted the mac, cleaned it up, and 
reinstalled
everything. Now Swarm gives the errors I sent along for any model I try to
compile. These absolutely should work, but I do not know the problem, since I
installed X11, Xcode, and DevTools as well as changed the flags and changed my
profile file permanently.

I'm curious why I get the errors, given the steps have been followed properly,
or am I still missing something minor (one of the SDKs from the Dev Tools that
I may not have installed?)

Thank you,
Brandon
