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

[Joshua Studen]

It's not working. the problem is this

/net/hp95/users/jstuden3/cmake-2.8.8/Source/CursesDialog/form/form.h:46:31:
error: ncurses/ncurses.h: No such file or directory

It's trying to reference the directory specified in CFLAGS/ncurses/ncurses.h

so if I pass in CFLAGS="-I/net/hu19/jstuden3/x86_64-6.4/include/ncurses"
CXXFLAGS="-I/net/hu19/jstuden3/x86_64-6.4/include/ncurses"  it will look
for /net/hu19/jstuden3/x86_64-6.4/include/ncurses/ncurses/ncurses.h

Okay, fine, so then don't specify the additional ncurses (just -I
/net/hu19/jstuden3/x86_64-6.4/include).. Then i get the SAME thing.

I don't think the configure script is respecting the variables at all. For
example, even though I've specified --no-qt-gui, I still get this after
configure:

Could NOT find Qt4 (missing:  QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE QT_MOC_EXECUTABLE
QT_RCC_EXECUTABLE QT_UIC_EXECUTABLE QT_INCLUDE_DIR QT_LIBRARY_DIR
QT_QTCORE_LIBRARY)

Regards,
Josh.
