Thank you for trying it out and reporting back so fast! That error message sounds like a SWIG runtime incompatibility. I'm running SWIG 1.3.31. The configure.am only insists on 1.3.21.
Are you using Python 2.5? Maybe that has something to do with it, and makes it require the latest version of SWIG. Not that you don't know, but I forgot to mention you should cd to sugar-jhbuild and run "./sugar-jhbuild shell" to get all the environment variables set that will get you python 2.5, before running any of the configuration of building commands. Here's a message I googled that suggests the error your getting is caused by an old version of SWIG -- so I guess I should fix the configure.ac to insist on the required version (1.3.31 works for me): http://projects.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-dev/2007-January/006568.html I should have elaborated. The problem is caused by using an older version of SWIG to generate the wrappers. As Robert Kern pointed out in a previous thread: """ Please use SWIG CVS to generate those files. Most of the errors that Nils reported are from non-const-preserving assignments in the SWIG runtime functions. g++ 4 is stricter about those than g++ 3. SWIG CVS corrects those problems. """ It appears that Apple's g++4 is more sensitive to this issue than other those in other distributions. When generating the SWIG wrappers for sparsetools, be sure to use the most recent version of SWIG (i.e. the one currently in svn).
