Make swig command not found - When swig is installed locally

Question

I am working on a remote server, so I have installed swig locally, using - prefix=/home/user/directory .

I have a makefile from a collegue which has the command :

swig $(SWIG_LIB) -python -c++ -threads $<, in the path home/user/dir2.

And when i run make i get :

swig -I /home/theodore/swig/share/swig/3.0.7 -python -c++ -threads tagger_swig.i make: swig: Command not found**

I have googled like ages and I have found nothing that could make it work.

Any ideas?

Try to run it by supplying absolute path to swig binary. If it works, check if swig is in your PATH - it probably isn't. This should fix your error.
