The binaries are all static and I have never had a problem running them on a Linux distribution before. There is no need to mess with LD_LIBRARY_PATH and adding the "bin" folder to your PATH is even optional. It is 41MB untarred but if space is a concern you can remove the cmake-gui, documentation, man pages, "ctest", "cpack" and end up with a pretty small package approximately 11MB in size uncompressed. http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html -- Philip Lowman
