John,
I have the same problem. When trying to install/reinstall SWIG, after  
doing the ./configure as in the INSTALL instructions, when I try the  
"make" step I get this message:

Build system is out of date. Please reconfigure (rerun: ./autogen.sh  
&& ./configure)
make[2]: *** [am--refresh] Error 1
make[1]: *** [Makefile.in] Error 1
make: *** [source] Error 2

I tried (rerun: ./autogen.sh && ./configure) to no avail (assuming  
that means to run and rerun those commands).
This is definitely beyond me -- any further suggestion on this? I''d  
be grateful.
Thanks,
Bob

I installed Swig with DarwinPorts sucessfully and am still having the
same problem creating a new web:

NoMethodError in   Admin#create_system
undefined method `files_path'' for nil:NilClass

Trace:

#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/wiki_file.rb:49:in `content_path''
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/web.rb:86:in `create_files_directory''
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/wiki.rb:13:in `create_web''
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/models/wiki.rb:70:in `setup''
#{RAILS_ROOT}/app/controllers/admin_controller.rb:17:in `create_system''
instiki:6

The migration fails with the same error before, as well:

script/import_storage:97:in `require'': no such file to load --
wiki_service (LoadError)
        from script/import_storage:97

Any ideas?

Hi Tyson,

Apologies for the pain of the by-hand install for OS X.  SWIG has  
proven to be rather much of a hassle for some folks.  (Oleg, any  
progress on getting the 0.11.0 all-in-one setup going?)

Did you also try reinstalling the sqlite3-ruby gem?  How do you have  
this gem installed?

If a reinstall of the suspect gem doesn''t work, then I recommend  
giving Locomotive a try.  See http://locomotive.raaum.org/ for  
details and download.  It''s literally "Rails in a box" for OS
X --
ruby, rails, gems, dependent libraries (including sqlite3) --  
everything in one neat package that won''t impact your existing  
Darwinports installation.  You should be able to run Instiki and  
perform the migration just fine.   For the migration, use  
Locomotive''s feature to open a Terminal window with all of the  
Locomotive path settings in place.

Awesome! Locomotive, indeed, works. It wouldn''t, however, run Instiki
successfully on its own (something, I suspect, having to do with
Locomotive allowing you to specify the port). Opening my instiki
folder in the Terminal thorugh Locomotive and running instiki there
gets Instiki up and running wonderfully. Thanks again for the help!
