Either that, or detect the error during the make and generate a useful error message like: "In order to build the Python interface, you need to have swig installed. Or you can choose not to build the Python interface by adding NO_PYTHON=1 to the make invocation." I don't know how hard that would be to implement swig detection in a make file. It sounds like something that might be better done with the autoconf tool set. - Corey > > On Jun 23, 2010, at 5:52 PM, stephane eranian wrote: > >> You need to install swig. >> >> >> On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 11:38 PM, Corey Ashford >> <cjash...@linux.vnet.ibm.com> wrote: >>> Hello, >>> >>> I'm seeing a build problem with the current libpfm4.
