Just writing this down for the list archives
Sami, thank you very much for all the informations.
I updated an created a new page, for Fedora and Ubuntu, with all the details.
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/ITK/WrapITKInstallLinux
For the moment this page is somewhat hidden, because you need to click 3-4 links through the FAQ and multiple pages to get to it.
I will maybe reorganize the wiki a little bit to move the installation procedures to the front page.
Thanks again
Michka

Now, as the version 4.6.0 requires a newer version of swig, this does not work. As a further detail, if I try to manually insert a command, for example in iPython, tab-completion works until the module names e.g. itk.ImageFileReader, but then stops. It seems that the swig can not be found or is not working properly.
