[CMake] Compiling Cmake on Fedora Core 4 (64 bit)

[Francesco Montorsi]

Hi,

    I'm having troubles compiling cmake 2.2.2 on my Fedora Core4 (64bit) with GCC 4.0.

I unpackaged the source release and then tried:


[frm at Linux cmake-2.2.2]$ ./configure

I searched the archive and found that I need to use an init file so I did:

[frm at Linux cmake-2.2.2]$ cat temp
SET(UPDATE_TYPE cvs)
SET(CURSES_INCLUDE_PATH "/usr" CACHE PATH "")
SET(CURSES_LIBRARY "/usr/lib/libncurses.so" CACHE PATH "")

[frm at Linux cmake-2.2.2]$ ./configure --init=temp

So, even with the init file, I get exactly the same error... what can I do ?

Thanks,
