Eric, Matthew,

Thank your for your advice. I found an rpm package at
http://atrpms.net/dist/el5/cmake/
that did the trick

Before you try installing from source, I'd suggest checking RPM 
databases like rpmfind.net and rpm.pbone.net to see if there is a RPM 
out there.  There probably is, most likely in an extras repository.  You 
may also find that the KDE Redhat project has a binary (kde-redhat.sf.net).

The chances are that the binary download you have installs into /usr, 
hence the bin and share folders.  Copy all the folders, as root, to /usr 
and then see if it works (i.e. "cp -R * /usr").

Regards,

Matt Smith
