Building locally, I found that SWIG fails to build with this new Perl release due to the removal of the current directory from @INC. This change is mentioned in the Perl release notes: "We removed the current directory from @INC We consider this a security change, and although it might cause discomfort to some users, we had to do it. Both Perl 5 Porters and the Toolchain Gang put effort into easing the transition to a dot-less @INC. If you want to load a module from the current directory, you can still do this in one the following ways: [...] # Use the environment variable PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC=1" http://blogs.perl.org/users/sawyer_x/2017/05/perl-5260-is-now-available.html It doesn't look like this has been addressed by the SWIG maintainers yet. We should set this PERL_USE_UNSAFE_INC variable in the SWIG package definition, right? Probably we will need to set it in several other packages as well.
