2.1.Installation
2.2. Development Environment Questions.
This Unix subsection deals with these questions:
1. Are you expecting me to be a Unix expert to use Swarm?
2. I want to know more about those commands. What do I do?
3. I'm trying to compile a program and the compiler can't find a file.
What do I do? Where is that file?
4. I need to find a few lines in a massive pile of output that runs up
the screen. How?
5. My simulation dumps a lot of labels and data into several files. How
can I extract the data I want to import into a spreadsheet/plotting package?
6. My fingers ache from typing long commands and I can't remember all that
crap. What can I do about it?
7. I've got two files that I need to compare. What to do?
8. How can I quickly find out how many lines of code I have?
9. I downloaded a file with the tar.gz extension. How do I use it?
10. Any other interesting tar facts worth knowing?
11. I just installed a new shared library and the programs that use it
say they can't find it. Unix really stinks!
12. Even after ldconfig, my program can't find a library. What's up?
2.3. Running Swarm.
