setup.py does not work on osx (error: command swig failed with exit status 1)

Hello,

I've seen the other thread about installation but did not find an answer to my problem.

I can install swig and numpy but when I do python3 setup.py install I get the following

....

It seems swig is not installed but I can do swig -version and I get

SWIG Version 4.0.2

Compiled with clang++ [x86_64-apple-darwin21.1.0]
