I am using Ubuntu 14.04. I'm trying to install a program which requires cmake. When I run cmake src/ I get: 

qmake: could not exec '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin/qmake': No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong?

Does the trick: 

sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake

You do not need to install half a gigabyte of qt sdk!
