[Swig-user] Problem installing SWIG.

[Louis P. <pe...@an...>]

Dear SWIG users list,

I am trying to install SWIG on Mac OS X 10.3.9, but I am having a 
problem in the  ./confiure  and the make commands.  I am stumped as to 
what the heck is wrong.  Any help appreciated.

The instructions say that this should be a standard Unix install and a 
fellow Mac user has successfully installed SWIG on his 10.3.9 system.  I 
have his output and have compared it to mine.  I show all my output 
below (sorry about the size, but I'm not sure how else to show this).   
The basic differences are that

(1) where I show "+" at the beginning of the lines in ./configure output 
marks two lines that are NOT present in the successful install.  I seem 
to be missing a file (which one?). 

(2) Where I show "*" my output has a line that is different from the 
successful install.  The two differences are that my ./configure has 
chosen to use g++ in place of  gcc for the successful install and the 
successful install shows Python version 2.4 whereas I have Python 
version 2.3. 

Those are the only differences between my ./configure step and the 
successful one.

For the 'make' step I have the same lines as the successful install 
(except I show g++ being used in place of gcc) down to line 5 where an 
error occurs and I have something wrong in a file.

Here are the outputs:
