I've had a go at this myself to see if I have any problems, but it
all seemed to work.

I built Apache 2.0.58, Berkeley DB 4.3.29, swig 1.3.29 and Subversion
1.3.1 from source on an Intel Mac with OS X 10.4.7 and using the gcc
supplied with XCode 2.4 (gcc 4.0.1), there are no fink or Darwinports
distributions hanging around. I built Neon and APR from the versions
included in the Subversion distribution. Everything is installed in /
usr/local.

My Apache config string is:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-dav --enable-dav-fs
--enable-ssl --enable-so

My Swig config string is:

./configure --with-python=/usr/bin/python

(Don't know if I strictly need the --with-python switch, since it's
the default location)

My Subversion config string is:

./configure PYTHON=/usr/bin/python \
        --with-apxs=/usr/local/apache2/bin/apxs \
        --with-berkeley-db=/usr/local/BerkeleyDB.4.3 \
        --with-ssl --with-editor=vi \
        --with-swig=/usr/local/bin/swig

Again, don't know if I need the PYTHON=... bit

I got the below warnings in the subversion configuration which I
thought was quite amusing...

configure: WARNING: Detected SWIG version 1.3.29
configure: WARNING: This is not compatible with Subversion
configure: WARNING: Subversion can use SWIG version 1.3.24 or later

During make swig-py I got some further warnings:

libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-
darwin8/4.0.1/../../..//libiconv.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-
darwin8/4.0.1/../../..//libiconv.la' seems to be moved
libtool: link: warning: `/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-
darwin8/4.0.1/../../..//libiconv.la' seems to be moved

but no missing symbols and the dylibs have built OK

I haven't actually tested the swig bindings because I know nothing
about Python programming. If you'd like to give me a small Python
script that exercises the swig libraries, I'll see if they work
properly.
