Juan,

Sorry about this.  If you search through the GNUmakefile,
you should find a target called "install-actions".  One of the
lines after it will be "(cd swig; $(MAKE) install)".  Just
delete that line.

I think I'm going to have to issue a GDAL 1.3.2 pretty soon
so not too many others run into this problem.

Best regards,
