Matt,

I believe that the swig bindings for GDAL/OGR require at least
SWIG 1.3.25 if you are rebuilding the wrappers.  However, my
understanding was that the GDAL 1.3.1 release included pre-built
wrappers in which case this should not be a problem.

I not really sure what the solution to your problem is, so I am
ccing this to the list so Kevin, Ari or others can comment.

Best regards,
