That Python API warning is saying "You're running Python 2.4.x against a
Python C module compiled for Python 2.3.x"

I suspect you have multiple versions of Python installed on the box (2.3
from your Linux distribution and 2.4 installed by you?), and the svn
build scripts found the wrong one.

You need to either eliminate all but one version of Python from the box
so the build scripts are guaranteed to guess right, or explicitly say
which version of Python you want the bindings to target.

"./configure -help" doesn't show a documented syntax for this, but if
you look through svn's configure script, you'll find that it uses
environment variables PYTHON and PYTHON2. Try setting one of those to
the full path of your Python 2.4 binary, then rebuilding. config.log
should show the path to the Python and SWIG versions that were actually
used.
