Just in case you might like to try an easy way building everything
(ITK 3.14, WrapITK 0.3.0, python, cmake, swig):

mkdir working_dir # somewhere where you have about 15G of space
cd working_dir
svn checkout http://devide.googlecode.com/svn/branches/v9-8/johannes -r 3785
python johannes/bootstrap.py -w . # this will setup build dirs and
download + build python 2.6.2
source jpython_setup_env.sh
which python # check that this is the newly-built python
python johannes/johannes.py -w . -p "cmake,itk,cableswig,swig,wrapitk"

You will end up with a fully configured, built and locally-installed
(all in your working-dir) Python 2.6.2, cmake 2.6.4, ITK 3.14,
CableSwig 3.14, swig 1.3.39, WrapITK 0.3.0.  I made johannes for
building the whole DeVIDE system which includes more libraries such as
numpy, matplotlib, gdcm, vtk, etc.
