It is called python-devel for CentOS 5, maybe it is the same for

You're right - the convention for development headers is "-devel" in many RPM-based systems.

Yes, but before you reconfigure it, please gzip the copy of
config.log and email it to me off-list so that I can see how to turn
that error into a warning.

Afterwards, you can reconfigure with "--disable-swig".


I tried to build libhid-0.2.16 and the SVN version under CentOS 5 and both
failed when swig is enabled.

Again, I would need to see the output of config.log - there is not enough information in that error message to diagnose the problem.
