How do I fix `ImportError: /usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn/_client.so: undefined symbol: SWIG_InstallConstants' ?

I'm puttering with the Python bindings, and figured a decent test
would be to run

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    from svn import client
    print dir ()

and see if I get some subversion-looking names. However, I get the
above error instead. The one pertinent web page that I could find
(http://www.contactor.se/~dast/svn/archive-2004-01/0957.shtml)
suggests that I do `make runtime' in my swig directory ... but I
didn't build Swig from source -- I installed it from Debian (my Swig
package is plenty new enough -- 1.3.21). I'd rather not have to build
Swig from source to get this to work.
