[CMake] local build misses ccmake on IBM cell ppc64

[Gao, Yi]

Hi Bill,

Finally I made it work.... seems that by setting the environment vars:
CPPFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LDFLAGS, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH (I haven't made sure
which actually do the work and which are redundant, so I just th ),
configure will find the ncurses in local dir:
/home/gaoyi/usr/local/include/ncurses. So it will ask the subsequent
make process to make ccmake. However, during make, the
ncurses/ncurses.h is not found when compiling
Source/CurseDialog/form/form.h

After trying different things, finally I just copy ncurses/ dir under
Source/CurseDialog/form/

which finally solve the problem.... the libs are correctly linked
which means the ld is working correctly...

ok I can use ccmake now.

Thanks for your suggestions!

Best,
yi
