Try regenerating the SWIG headers on your local machine by installing
*the most recent* version of SWIG and then running

python makeswig.py

before trying to build.  This will regenerate the SWIG runtime.

Alternatively, you could try with mpl 0.85 which has a new version of
SWIG headers (built on a solaris box, coincidentally)
