Configuring cmake version that ccmake uses

I have a software that needs to use cmake 3.3 or higher, so I built and installed cmake-3.4.1 from source. I also installed the Cmake GUI (ccmake) from Ubuntu repositories, but when I execute it, it says that I have CMake Version 3.2.2. instead of 3.4.1. I would like to know how to configure it to use the version I installed. I have already exported cmake 3.4.1 system variable in .baschrc (export PATH=$PATH:/home/.../.../cmake-3.4.1/bin) and nothing. I would appreciate any suggestion, thanks in advance

The version of ccmake and cmake-gui are tight to the cmake version. In your build directory of your self-compiled CMake, there should be ccmake in the bin sub-directory. This what you want to use instead of the one installed from your Ubuntu package.

On ubuntu, browse to https://cmake.org/download/ and download the latest cmake installer for your platform (cmake-3.5.1-Linux-x86_64.sh for Ubuntu 64bit right now)

Open the terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T

sudo apt-get remove cmake-qt-gui
sudo apt-get remove cmake
cd ~/Downloads 
sudo sh ./cmake-3.5.1-Linux-x86_64.sh --prefix=/usr

Accept the license (y)

Refuse to include subdirectory cmake (n)

You should now be able to execute the cmake-gui with a brand new 3.5.1 cmake using the command:

cmake-gui
