Synopsis
swig bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Topic
An updated swig package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator (SWIG) is a software
development tool for connecting C, C++ and Objective C programs with a
variety of high-level programming languages. SWIG is primarily used
with Perl, Python and Tcl/TK, but it has also been extended to Java,
Eiffel and Guile. SWIG is normally used to create high-level
interpreted programming environments, systems integration, and as a
tool for building user interfaces.
SWIG searched libraries in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64 on 64bit architectures.
Users are advised to upgrade to this updated swig package which resolves
this issue.
