1.3.27 on Ubuntu dapper is still directed to stdout (which is why I didn't see this error). The change from stdout to stderr that you discovered is ugly indeed. > > Modification commited to CVS to check ERROR_VARIABLE if > OUTPUT_VARIABLE is blank. Now works again for me. Thanks, Andrew, for sorting this out. Note, I imported this version from the CMake bug system. From "cvs log FindSWIG.cmake" : revision 1.1 date: 2007/01/23 21:21:25; author: airwin; state: Exp; MUCH better FindSWIG.cmake module downloaded from http://public.kitware.com/Bug/bug.php?op=show&bugid=4145 (click on FindSWIG.cmake-4).... I just checked, and FindSWIG.cmake-4 continues to be the last version there. Were you going to follow up with your "FindSWIG.cmake-5" to that location (plus an explanation of the horrible stderr change) or would you like me to do it? Alan __________________________ Alan W.
