I just tried here, and it works, perhaps if you created a clean build tree
for CMake it would work for you.  rm -rf Bootstrap.cmk.   Or better yet,
use an out of source build for CMake.  To do that you will need a fresh
checkout of the source with no build files in it.

The recommended version will work, but does not handle symbolic links as 
described in this email.  The current CVS is not tested to work with KDE,
but should work.
