Start with ANTs 2.3.0, the superbuild requires ITK 5 
(https://github.com/ANTsX/ANTs/blob/v2.3.0/Common.cmake#L39). I've tried 
compiling ANTs >= 2.3.0 with the latest ITK 4 some time ago, but never 
got to get it working (sorry, not able to provide exact version numbers 
to this fuzzy description). I would love to see a recent ANTs in Debian 
and would gladly help with the packaging of ANTs, but sadly I'm unable 
to do the same with ITK 5.
