[CMake] Having a real hardtime installing CMake on a Linux cluster machine

Hi,

The problem is relatively simple. I've downloaded cmake and have run
configure as follows:

./configure --prefix=$HOME/x86_64-6.4  --no-qt-gui

The configure phase seems to work fine.. throws no errors, but then when I
type gmake, I get the following errrors:

/net/hp95/users/jstuden3/cmake-2.8.8/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.h:46:31:
error: ncurses/ncurses.h: No such file or directory
In file included from
/net/hp95/users/jstuden3/cmake-2.8.8/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.priv.h:34,
                 from
/net/hp95/users/jstuden3/cmake-2.8.8/Source/CursesDialog/form/fld_arg.c:33:
/net/hp95/users/jstuden3/cmake-2.8.8/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.h:93:

/net/hp95/users/jstuden3/cmake-2.8.8/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.h:120:

/net/hp95/users/jstuden3/cmake-2.8.8/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.h:144:
error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before ‘WINDOW’
...
...
a bunch of stuff like this, and then

gmake[2]: *** [Source/CursesDialog/form/CMakeFiles/cmForm.dir/fld_arg.c.o]
Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [Source/CursesDialog/form/CMakeFiles/cmForm.dir/all] Error 2
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

I have ncurses installed in /net/hu19/jstuden3/x86_64-6.4/ (lib/ for the
.a's, and include/ for the headers).

It seems that I can't specify a directory for ncurses when configuring
cmake? doing ./configure --help doesn't seem to indicate anyway to specify
include and link paths......

Regards,
Josh
