When you install MacPorts, they tell you to add /opt/local/bin
to /etc/paths which I did – along with /opt/local/sbin just in case. So
if SCons is doing the OSX thing /opt/local/bin should be on the base
path of SCons and so swig should be found.

I am not sure what to try to find what is happening

(I get my LaTeX via MacPorts as well.)
