Hi Francesco,

Apologies for the delayed reply -- our mailing list queue got stuck so 
we suddenly got a week's worth of messages yesterday!

This sounds like a strange error to me: SWIG 2.0.4 should certainly be 
new enough for this test to pass. Can you take a look in the config.log 
file and see if there is a more explicit hint to what is going wrong? If 
you can't work it out, please send us the file and we'll try to help.

Cheers,
Andy
