A similar problem has been reported here with no solution:https://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/print.php?form=1&topic_id=42696&forum=56&order=ASC&start=0

I've added and upgraded gcc to centos

cd /etc/yum.repos.d
wget http://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-1.1/devtools-1.1.repo 
yum --enablerepo=testing-1.1-devtools-6 install devtoolset-1.1-gcc devtoolset-1.1-gcc-c++
scl enable devtoolset-1.1 bash

The result is this for my gcc

[root@hhvm-build-centos cmake-2.8.11.1]# gcc -v
Using built-in specs.

Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.7.2 20121015 (Red Hat 4.7.2-5) (GCC) 

And I tried to then install cmake through http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html#latest

But I keep running into this error:

Linking CXX executable ../bin/ccmake
/opt/centos/devtoolset-1.1/root/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.2/ld: CMakeFiles/ccmake.dir/CursesDialog/cmCursesMainForm.cxx.o: undefined reference to symbol 'keypad'

gmake[2]: *** [bin/ccmake] Error 1
gmake[1]: *** [Source/CMakeFiles/ccmake.dir/all] Error 2
gmake: *** [all] Error 2

The problem seems to come from the new gcc installed because it works with the default install. Is there a solution to this problem?
