I'm not sure why the installation from NeuroDebian doesn't work for you, but maybe you have some old rests of previous installs on your box.
Why would you want to install swig manuall? Just do sudo apt-get install swig or similar in a terminal, this should get you swig. It must be callable in a terminal in order to let the installation complete.
