Yes. as long as the versions of libc are similar.  Did you check your
linux distribution to see if it supplies a binary version of swish?
If so, make sure it's not too old of a version of swish.

The INSTALL documentation mentions other methods of building swish.
You might try using --disable-shared to see if it reduces the
dependency on external libraries.

Check the swish-e archives.  I think there was some discussion how to
build an all static binary.

There's also a thread here:

You don't need to use root for building swish.
