Thanks a lot for trying this out, confirming that the SWIG version seems to be the issue, and narrowing down when the change in SWIG was introduced that breaks compiling the SVM functionality in PyMVPA.

I forgot to mention this in my earlier post, but I got the same error message. 

So for SWIG, I wonder if this is a mac-related issue, or also applies to Linux installations. I may try and find some time to try this out.
