Subversion Python bindings breaking on SWIG_TypeQuery

Hi. I'm still having trouble with the python bindings, and SWIG_TypeQuery in particular. From googling I see that I'm not the only one who's had similar problems, but I couldn't find a solution to the problem I'm having.

In a nutshell, when I try to test the Subversion python bindings, I get this:

[root@meatwad subversion-1.1.1]# tools/examples/svnlook.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "tools/examples/svnlook.py", line 23, in ?
    from svn import core, fs, delta, repos
  File "/usr/local/lib/svn-python/svn/core.py", line 21, in ?
    from libsvn.core import *
  File "/usr/local/lib/svn-python/libsvn/core.py", line 5, in ?
    import _core
ImportError: /usr/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0: undefined symbol: SWIG_TypeQuery

I find SWIG_Python_TypeQuery, not SWIG_TypeQuery:

[root@meatwad subversion-1.1.1]# ldd /usr/local/lib/libsvn_swig_py-1.so.0 | grep libswigpy
        libswigpy.so.0 => /usr/local/lib/libswigpy.so.0 (0xb75f7000)

[root@meatwad subversion-1.1.1]# nm -A /usr/local/lib/libswigpy.so | grep -i SWIG_TypeQuery

[root@meatwad bruce]# nm -A /usr/local/lib/libswigpy.so | grep -i SWIG_Python_TypeQuery
/usr/local/lib/libswigpy.so:000012dc T SWIG_Python_TypeQuery

Although I see a few statements like #define SWIG_TypeQuery SWIG_Python_TypeQuery in both the subversion and swig source trees. So, where is SWIG_TypeQuery supposed to be coming from? Is SWIG not building correctly on my system or is the problem elsewhere?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
