Hmm, it sounds like it should have fixed it, and indeed the configure
printout suggests that that swig version is being tested. While the
version number is ok, perhaps that particular binary is not
compatible... can you try running something like

/afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/swig/1.3.40/x86_64-slc5-gcc43-opt/bin/swig
-version

from your build machine and see if that works? If that seems ok, have a
look in config.log and see if you can find the place where that test
goes wrong: there might be helpful printout there.

Cheers,
Andy
