    Question cmake - how to install?

    i just installed UBUNTU 9.04 and did the updates etc.

    i'm trying to install CMake. i have it extracted on my desktop and have tried to enter './configure' in the terminal but i get an error saying 'error when bootstrapping CMake, problem while running make'.

    all i want to do is install CMake so if ./configure is not the right thing to do ro right order, please correct me.

    and is there a way to check if its already installed by any chance?

    thanks!

    ps, i'm a MEGANOOBA to ubuntu so please be gentle and clear with isntructions.

    When installing software try to always use the package manager. A package manager will download and install software automatically and keep all your software up to date. For more information on how to use it have a quick read of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto

    You can install cmake using your package manager at the command line with the command:

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install cmake
