I guess you mean SVN not CVS?

Anyway, I can reproduce it.  I've not yet worked out why this has
stopped working, or indeed quite what is going on at all.  Regenerating
with SWIG 1.3.22 didn't seem to help.

I think I'll try to find a Xapian+SWIG comibination which it does work
with, then look at what's different.

Odd - the tinderbox builds on ixion are passing checks.  What fails for
you?

I'm wondering if we should just disable guile.  The chap working on it
had his laptop hard disk die.  Last I heard, he was going to spend the
weekend tring to coax useful files off, but that was some time ago so
I assume he didn't manage to.

I had a fiddle ages ago, but I don't really know guile at all and
trying to learn a language by getting C++ bindings working for it is
quite hard!
