You find precompiled binaries on the cmake download page. They don't require 
compilation/bootstrapping.
Just download the archive that matches your machine (probably 
cmake-2.0.5-x86-linux.tar.gz).
Then go to the directory where you downloaded it  into
 $ cd /home/satrish/downloads
and unpack it
 $ tar xvzf cmake-2.0.5-x86-linux.tar.gz
(That's for e_X_tract _V_erbose g_Z_ipped _F_ile)
Then you will get two files, a README and another .tar archive. The REAMDE 
invites you to unpack the archive in /usr/local so that's what you do:
 $ cd /usr/local
 $ tar xvf /home/satrish/downloads/cmake-2.0.5-x86-linux-files.tar
You have to do this as root.
After that, you can safely delete the README, the .tar file and the .tar.gz 
file.
The graphical (sort of) version of cmake is /usr/local/bin/ccmake. You most 
probably have /usr/local/bin in your path (check with 'echo $PATH').

Best regards,
  Benjamin
