Greetings
I'm sure this will have some of you rolling your eyes, but I can't download/install the cmake package.
Here is my command line : apt-get install cmake
The result is
Reading package lists...Done
Package cmake is not available
In sources.list is: deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib
which was put there by the installer. In that file I have commented out lines which
named my DVD drive as a source since it seems to be failing.
I have run : apt-get check and the results looked normal (to my untrained eye).
I have verified the existence of the cmake package by searching on debian.org.
Where is my typo?
Thanks

Do you have "wheezy" and "wheezy-updates" lines in sources.list?

If not, add:
deb http://ftp.<CC>.debian.org/debian wheezy main <...>
deb http://ftp.<CC>.debian.org/debian wheezy-updates main <...>
Or:
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main <...>
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main <...>

cc is "country code". If you are in the US as you seem to be, replace it
by us. I would replace it by fr since I am in France.

Thanks for your attention.
I added the last two lines that you suggested and not the first two. (I
don't know what <CC> means.
I assume it is not taken literally)
The result was still unsuccessful.

"Package cmake is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean ..."
"E: Package 'cmake' has no installation candidate."
I would be grateful for another suggestion.

Thanks. I now know what CC means.
However, adding the two lines to sources.list did not help.
I have added all four lines from the advice of Tom H. and I still get

Did you do an "apt-get update"? Adding the line tells apt about new
repositories, but apt won't know what packages are available in them
until it downloads their indexes. That's what update does.

Yes, I did apt-get update even before my first post. Sorry
I forgot to mention it.
Thanks anyhow.

"<CC>" stands for two-letter country code.
You have to run "apt-get update" before "apt-get install cmake".

/etc/apt/sources.list, you have to do it again.
After editing, save the file, and then:
# apt-get update && apt-get install cmake
If you still can't make it, could you paste your
/etc/apt/sources.list? So we can figure out if it is correct.
