You did not post which subversion version you are trying to emerge. Try to re-emerge swig.
(In reply to comment #1) > You did not post which subversion version you are trying to emerge. Try to > re-emerge swig. The version I was trying to emerge was 1.1.3. Re-emerging perl seems to have fixed the problem for me.
