The latest release, 1.8.2, should have no problem with ITK 1.4.  What was
the error you got?

"cmake" is the main cmake executable that can be run by hand and is used
internally to update dependencies during the build process.

"ccmake" is the Curses dialog that makes it easier to configure projects
and adjust settings.  If no curses development package was available on
your system when you built cmake, the dialog was not built.
