the SWIG tutorial is out of date -- the "right" way to compile 
extensions for python is to use the distutils -- distutils will figure 
out all the paths, flags, etc for you. The latest version of the SWIG 
docs has instructions:

http://www.swig.org/Doc1.3/Python.html#Python_nn6

Or look at various distutils instructions.
