Im' trying to install swig on Ubuntu 14.04:

sudo apt-get install swig

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package swig

Seach gives something irrelevant:

apt-cache search swig

python-sip - Python/C++ bindings generator runtime library
libkml0 - Library to manipulate KML 2.2 OGC standard files
libapparmor-perl - AppArmor library Perl bindings

Howewer here

So what is the proper way to install swig?

Update: Seems sudo apt-get update helped.

  1. download the latest development (master) version of SWIG:

cd swig
sudo apt-get install automake
./autogen.sh

sudo apt-get install bison flex
make
