Had similar problem, too. Nevertheless, this is not related to swig
1.3.31, it also happens to 1.3.29 when you try to compile it on the
same environment. The error message itself is misleading, since the
error is triggered several lines above in the configure script. For me,
it looks more like a bug of the shell since I haven't found any syntax
errors (correct me if I'm wrong). In your case your shell most likely
misinterprets the hash signs in following snippet as comment, leaving
the backticks unbalanced. The next backtick is down in the Ruby section,
thus resulting in the error you see above.
snippet from ./configure

Til now, I wasn't able to hunt down the root cause, but I'm sure it
hasn't anything to do with swig itself. Looks more like a bug in bash to
me. In my environment (and several others I've got at hand) it builds
like a charm. I already played around with several patch levels of GNU
bash, but as mentioned, I wasn't able to nail down the root cause yet.
