Re: SWIG bindings not makeing on Subversion 1.3.0, SWIG 1.3.28 or 1.3.24 and Python 2.4

The Debian "unstable" subversion package is 1.2.3 [1]

[1] 
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=subversion&searchon=names&subword=1&version=unstable&release=all

I was able to compile the swig bindings (albiet with some warnings) when 
using the 1.2.3 source.

The problem is that the 1.2.3 source compiles the swig bindings just 
fine whereas the 1.3.0 does not.  Il also tried 1.3.0 with SWIG 1.3.24 
and Python 2.3, PERL, RUBY with the same results : works for 1.2.3 but 
not for 1.3.0.

Many thanks,

Chris

Should I enter this as a bug ?
