RE: Problems with %rename (const)

Debugging SWIG is not for the faint hearted ;) , but the best way is to use 
swig -dump_tree to see the parse tree.

Are you using SWIG-1.3.22? I'd start with the following working example and 
modify it until it really looks like your real code and causes the same errors.

%module example

%inline %{
typedef float f32;
namespace core {
  template<typename T> class aabbox3d {
  };
}
namespace irr
{
  namespace scene
  {
    class IMeshBuffer /*: public IUnknown*/
    {
      public:

        virtual ~IMeshBuffer() {};
        virtual const core::aabbox3d<f32>& getBoundingBox() const = 0;
        virtual core::aabbox3d<f32>& getBoundingBox() = 0;
    };
  }
}
%}

%template(aabbox3df) core::aabbox3d<f32>;
