You are likely to be correct.  I have, however, had problems with some
of the versions of gprolog and I found 1.2.11 to work the best for me.
I don't remember trying 1.2.1 or 1.2.3, though.  I get 1.2.11 from
ftp://ftp.inria.fr/INRIA/Projects/contraintes/gprolog/unstable.

I had several problems with 1.2.8 and that is why I went to the
unstable versions.

These two points are actually related.  The SWIG command for version
1.1 does several things: create documentatioon for the wrapper; create
a python shadow class; create the code for the C module.  This is
really more that I wanted in one step so I artificially broke it up
into three steps and moved the files for each step to locations that I
prefered.  SWIG 1.3 does things differently.

SWIG 1.3 did not make shadow classes that worked as well as SWIG 1.1
when I last compared the two.  This is mostly because SWIG 1.3 is
still undergoing a lot of change.  When SWIG 1.3 settles down, I will
switch.  I looked at the Mandrake site and I couldn't find SWIG 1.1.
SIWG 1.3 is close to being stable, but I would rather wait until an
official release is made.  The reason I'm hesitant is that I will have
to change setup.py in a way that will not work with SWIG 1.1.

Are there other packages that Mandrake installs that depend on version
1.3 of SWIG?  I'm suprised that they don't use version 1.1 since all
of the packages that I am aware of are waiting until SWIG settles
down before switching to 1.3.

I think the fundamental problem is that Mandrake installs SWIG 1.3
rather than 1.1.  I guess there are two options: you could get a copy
of SWIG 1.1 that does not conflict with the version that Mandrake
installed or we could make a Distutils script that assumes SWIG 1.3.

What sort of timeframe are you looking at for getting something up and
running?  This will likely determine what course we should take.
