Yes there is http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html see "Binary distributions: " e.g. http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.5-Linux-i386.tar.gz > Following a search, I downloaded an RPM file and installed that with Alien. > Evidently that package was built from a different tree (or something - > I'm not an expert at this type of thing).

You shouldn't have to resolve dependencies if you use the appropriate package management software: https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/package-management.html appropriate meaning: "the one coming with your distribution". CMake is now widespread such that almost any Linux distro should have cmake package somewhere. That said be aware that Ubuntu 8.04 is a relatively old distribution (April 2008) if you have the choice you should consider an upgrade, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes > Thanks for your help, Eric.
