I'm trying to build a github project using cmake and I've been having a lot of trouble. I'm creating a build directory and calling cmake like so:

cd github_project_directory
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

This is the error I'm getting:

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

I think there is a problem with how cmake is installed but I can't seem to figure it out. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but...I think it might have created even more trouble.

I'm on Ubuntu 14.04. Happy to provide more information as required.

Thank you!

I wanted to update my cmake version. So I had first uninstalled it and then tried to install as given in this post by teocci.

However, it was giving some errors on entering make and now I want to uninstall it and install the previous version of cmake. I tried sudo apt-get purge cmake. But it still remains in the system on entering cmake --version.

What should I do?

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
  CMake 3.6.0 or higher is required.  You are running version 3.5.1
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I know Ubuntu uses stable releases that it can support, but some repos require later versions of cmake. I want to overwrite the old cmake with the later version of cmake, but the common PPA doesn't carry the cmake I need. How can I upgrade cmake to use the needed version without conflicts with the older version?

I am trying to build inria Graphite on my ubuntu which is running in a VirtualBox simulator, I follow the instructions, and install the python-dev packages, but when I run cmake , still got an error:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108          (message):
Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS)
(Required is at least version "3.2")
Call Stack (most recent call first):
 /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:315     (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE)
 /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPythonLibs.cmake:208 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
 src/packages/OGF/gel_python3/CMakeLists.txt:11 (FIND_PACKAGE)

I checked the /usr/lib/ and find 

tintin@tintin-VirtualBox:/usr/lib$ find . -name "libpython*"
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.4m.so.1.0
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1.0
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.4m.a
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.a
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.4m.so
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython2.7.so.1
./x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.4m.so.1

so why cmake can not find the PythonLibs, or how should I deal with this?
