8+\note There is a known bug in many versions of Swig
9+ (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3479190&group_id=1645&atid=101645)
10+ that affects a small number of platforms, including at least
11+ FreeBSD. If you get compilation errors that look similar to this:
12+
13+\code
14+ build/swig/php/zorba_apiPHP5_wrap.cxx:953: error: invalid conversion from 'const char*' to 'char*'
15+\endcode
16+
17+ then you may have run into this bug. Our experience is that Swig
18+ version at least 2.0.7 has corrected this bug, so please try upgrading
19+ to that version.
20+
21 For a particular language binding, you need the corresponding language
22 tools and development headers. CMake will automatically enable the
23 language bindings for any language that is detected.
