Tom,

I *seriously* doubt that you are getting this error message when you
are doing a configure.  

Are you building from CVS?
If so, please update and rebuild.
If not, you'll need to use swig version 1.3.23 or 1.3.24

Also, from the message above that includes "/root/Desktop/..." I infer
that you are building and running all of this as root.  That is not a
very good idea.  In general, you should run as a non-root user 99.999%
of the time.
