Further information. One of our users found that from a 'jessie' install, on changing the repository urls to 'testing' and upgrading this bug did not appear, but it did if making a clean install of 'testing'. Also, the current fedora build (and it's derivatives) has the same cmake version and has no problem.
This suggests there is something odd about the December 'testing' build. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
