So, I resorted to ccmake.  In buid directory, did:

   ccmake ../src

and only option was:

     CMAKE_BACKWARDS_COMPATIBILITY 3.4

do, did configure and got error message:

CMake Error: This project requires version 2.6.0 of CMake.  You are 
running version 2.4.7.

So, downloaded and installed cmake-2.6.0 from:

http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.0.tar.gz

did which to make sure I was getting right one and it was the one
in /usr/local/bin instead of the one in /usr/bin.  Then tried
ccmake again, but got same error about version 2.4.7 instead of 2.6.0.

What should I do?
