Bug#675207: python-dolfin: Problem with SWIG

[Torquil Macdonald Sørensen]

Package: python-dolfin
Version: 1.0.0-6
Severity: normal

Hi!

The example vcp2D.py from the tutorial:

http://fenicsproject.org/documentation/tutorial/

in the tarball:

http://fenicsproject.org/_static/tutorial/fenics_tutorial_examples.tar.gz

fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "vcp2D.py", line 20, in <module>
    V = FunctionSpace(mesh, 'Lagrange', 1)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/dolfin/functions/functionspace.py", line 353, in __init__
    FunctionSpaceBase.__init__(self, mesh, element)

    """%cpp.__swigversion__
OSError: PyDOLFIN was not compiled with the present version of swig.
Install swig version 2.0.5 or recompiled PyDOLFIN with present swig

I have run it with and without the *.xml parameter file present. I think the swig version is
supposed to be autodetected when running without the *.xml file, but the error message above seems
to indicate an incompatibility between dolfin and swig, no? So perhaps some recompiled versions
are needed in Debian?

Best regards
