[CMake] local build misses ccmake on IBM cell ppc64

[Gao, Yi]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for pointing that out! Following the direction, I downloaded
ncurses-5.7.tar.gz
I untared it, and in its directory I do:
./configure --prefix=/home/gaoyi/usr/local      (since I don't have
permission for paths other than my home dir)
make
make install

I can see ncurses is in /home/gaoyi/usr/local/include and
/home/gaoyi/usr/local/lib

(The problem may not be specific to build cmake, but I would very
appreciate if you could give me some hint on that since that will
permanently solve my problem on library dependency....)

Then I come back to cmake source dir, and do (I'm using bash)
export CPPFLAGS=-I/home/gaoyi/usr/local/include
export CFLAGS=-I/home/gaoyi/usr/local/include
export LDFLAGS=-L/home/gaoyi/usr/local/lib
./configure --prefix=/home/gaoyi/usr/local
make

Then I see the error messages saying "ncurses/ncurses.h: No such file
or directory" like:
In file included from
/home/gaoyi/usr/package/build/cmake-2.8.0/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.priv.h:34,
                 from
/home/gaoyi/usr/package/build/cmake-2.8.0/Source/CursesDialog/form/fld_arg.c:33:
/home/gaoyi/usr/package/build/cmake-2.8.0/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.h:46:31:
error: ncurses/ncurses.h: No such file or directory


I googled but the only things I found was the evn vars which I already
set. Could I have any hints?

Thanks very much!

Best,
yi
