I installed cmake without any error in Ubuntu 14.10 64-bit

I am getting this error while running cmake in gromacs build directory

CMake Error: Could not find CMAKE_ROOT !!!
CMake has most likely not been installed correctly.
Modules directory not found in
/usr/local/bin
CMake Error: Error executing cmake::LoadCache(). Aborting.

How should I proceed?

Please compile cmake again and use this ./configure (The default value is /usr/local):

sudo make uninstall
make clean
./configure --prefix=/usr
make

And you should use sudo checkinstall and not sudo make install to get a .deb file:

sudo apt-get install checkinstall

It may be that you first need to delete your old cmake installation:

sudo apt-get remove cmake
sudo apt-get remove cmake-data

and than install the compiled version with:

sudo checkinstall

That's all =)

  • Did you after make uninstall, run ./configure --prefix=/usr and make? – A.B. Apr 23 '15 at 05:58
  • ./configure --prefix=/usr gives following error CMake Error: Cannot determine link language for target "cmcurl". CMake Error: CMake can not determine linker language for target: cmcurl -- Generating done

  • Run a make clean before configure. Or remove the folder cmake-3.2.2 folder and start with a new. – A.B. Apr 23 '15 at 06:49
