Francesco,

Did you mention about building GDAL from SVN on by using the release source
packages? I think we are about to support including the SWIG generated stuff
in the release packages, but take that out of the SVN version control. In
this regard you could probably compile the release source packages without
problems.

In case if you'd build directly from the SVN you'll require to install the
supported SWIG version in your development machine.

Best regards,

Tamas
