   Thank you, that started off well with a list of missing dependencies.   
   Installing the missing packages made a fair proportion of those   
   dependencies go away, but "cmake(blah blah)" is still there.  For 17   
   different values of blah blah.  Although cmake is now installed (and I   
   even rebooted).
