None of those configure commands should be a problem, except that you don't
normally need to specify "--enable-swig-bindings=perl" since this will be built
automatically as long as you have Perl bindings available from SWIG itself. Did
you build SWIG from source, or did you install it from an RPM? Which version of
SWIG? What version of Perl do you have installed?

By which we can assume you did

        $ make swig-pl-lib

from the top level subversion directory? You don't have to have done the final
'make install-swig-pl-lib' in order to build/test the bindings though.

Not the only error, probably. Somewhere before that final error, you should see
some warnings that _Client.c is not able to be compiled. Capture the entire
output of the 'make' and see if there are more clues...
