<div>Thanks Obada and Dominik for your help, I have managed to install Cmake I think, now I have problem running it</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Ok, here is what I did</div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>a) I downloaded the unix version of Cmake ( its not wrong rite, it has the configure file in it ), the file name is <a href="http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.4/cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz">cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz</a> , I untarred it into a Cmake directory, and ran the following command
</div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman">
<p align="left">cd CMake<br>./configure<br>make<br>make install</p></font><font face="Times New Roman" color="#ff0000">
<p align="left">[the make install step is optional, cmake can run directly from the build directory if you want.]</p></font></div>
<div>- I did not run the last line cause I dun have the root priveleges. ok, now that that's done, I have to run the cmake, I referred to this website <a href="http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html">http://www.cmake.org/HTML/RunningCMake.html
</a> .</div>
<div>But when I type ccmake</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="mailto:kalpanak@sauron">kalpanak@sauron</a> ~ $ ccmake<br>-bash: ccmake: command not found</div>
<div> </div>
<div><a href="mailto:kalpanak@sauron">kalpanak@sauron</a> ~ $ ccmake Cmake<br>-bash: ccmake: command not found<br> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>The VTK is in a different directory and Cmake is in a different directory, I do not wanna install it as in place built thing, but what do you suggest.. thanks, sorry if my questions are really dumb.<br> </div>

<br><br>What exact error message did you get trying to run "cmake" from<br>"cmakelinux/bin"? For installing VTK, just unpacking the binary tarball<br>should be enough, CMake should just work "out of the box". If you like,
<br>you can then extend the "PATH" settings like you described<br><br>> I have set the path using this command, "export<br>> PATH=/path/to/cmakelinux/bin:$PATH".<br><br>and then enter your VTK build directory and start building VTK. For
<br>example, having unpacked the sources into "/tmp/VTK", just create and<br>enter an empty build directory "/tmp/VTK-build" and run "ccmake ../VTK"<br>from there.<br><br>If there are any more problems or questions, don't hesitate to ask :-)
