Sorry, I haven't had a chance to try again on that box. However, last 
Friday, I got the same error on OS-X.

which might explain it. Is there a make command to re-run SWIG?

Also, this was with my attempt to turn off the python bindings in 
configure, and build them with setup.py by hand instead, so that may 
have resulted in the issue. Can you see any reason why that wouldn't 
work right.

This stems from messing with the OS-X framework build -- I"m becoming 
more convinced that the "right" way to do it is:

build gdal
install gdal
build python (and other) bindings
install python bindings

This is particularly a issue with the OS-X Framework build, as it is 
doing some library renaming at the install stage, so the bindings get 
built against the old names, and don't work (and all this is because 
libtool doesn't really support Frameworks right). William has some ideas 
about how to fix that, but I'm just thinking that the above build 
procedure really the the most appropriate way to handle building 
bindings of a lib that you want installed in the system for other uses 
as well.

I'll let you know when I get a chance to try again.
