Ok, Here is how to reproduce the error: 1) Extract 5.5.23 tar.gz source on Fedora 14-x64 2) using cmake-gui . -> generate make files (also dies with ccmake curses generator) 3) make 4) See Error below. But if you just unzip the source tar ball, execute cmake . <enter>, and then make, the project will build successfully.
