Yes there is
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html
see "Binary distributions: "

e.g.
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.5-Linux-i386.tar.gz

This kind of method may work "by accident" but usually it does not work as
expected.

You shouldn't have to resolve dependencies if you use the appropriate
package management software:
https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/package-management.html

appropriate meaning: "the one coming with your distribution".
CMake is now widespread such that almost any Linux distro should have cmake
package somewhere.

That said be aware that Ubuntu 8.04 is a relatively old distribution (April
2008) if you have the choice you should consider an upgrade,
see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes

You are welcome.

Re: [CMake] libcrypto.so.6 library needed for cmake on Ubuntu 8.04

2011-07-15 Thread Neil Higgins
I couldn't see anything on the CMake site that looked like an installable
package, so ...

Following a search, I downloaded an RPM file and installed that with Alien.
Evidently that package was built from a different tree (or something - I'm
not an expert at this type of thing).

The problem is solved - I subsequently removed that package and successfully
installed a Debian package (cmake 2.8.4), although I first had to resolve a
lot of dependencies.

Thanks for your help, Eric.

Kind regards,
Neil

Which version of CMake did you install ?

Where did obtain cmake (Ubuntu repo or www.cmake.org?)

> Please advise where to find the required library.

Looks like an inappropriate package problem.

Could you try to re-install cmake using
sudo aptitude reinstall cmake
?
