#12 Need swig 1.3.27

[Anonymous]

I tried building with swig 1.3.29... no luck. Maybe
it's me? I had success with 1.3.27. I hate swig.

It doesn't work with swig 1.3.28 either.
This was from teh Ubuntu 6.10 apt package.
I get this error:
# python ./setup.py build

I downloaded swig-1.3.27 and installed it.
This worked. With swig 1.3.27 I was able to build python-libpcap.

It's too bad python-libpcap isn't maintained.
This could be a pretty nice tool!
