[CMake] Installation Problems on IRIX64 v6.5

Hi,

I simply downloaded the latest release (2.0.6) from cmake.org -- for me, the cmake-2.0.6-irix64-n32.tar.gz package.

Under lau/CMake, I performed the following ops:
> gunzip cmake-2.0.6-irix64-n32.tar.gz package
> tar xvf cmake-2.0.6-irix64-n32.tar
> tar xvf cmake-2.0.6-irix64-n32-files.tar
> setenv CMAKE_ROOT lau/CMake
> cd bin
> ccmake -v

resulting in the CMake Error message specified previously.

Please advise
