I've installed Swim2.0 successfully.  HOWEVER, the installation
script makes incorrect assumptions about where to find XFree.
Here is my list of steps to take to install Swim:
    untar distribution disks into directory /WHEREVER
    ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/X386
    run Swim's Install script
    ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/X11
    cd /usr/X11R6/lib; tar xzvf /WHEREVER/bitmaps.tar.gz
    cd /usr/X11R6/lib; tar xzvf /WHEREVER/libsa.tar.gz
    cleanup /WHEREVER

You will of course need to rebuild the shared library cache
(or reboot) before running any of the Motif executables.
