I am getting this error.. any ideas?

cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -D BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=TRUE .
-- The CXX compiler identification is unknown
CMake Error: your CXX compiler: "CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER-NOTFOUND" was not found.   Please set CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to a valid compiler path or name.
CMake Error at cmake/Config.cmake:62 (message):

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I was following the tutorial here...
http://sfmlcoder.wordpress.com/2011/08/16/building-sfml-2-0-with-make-for-gcc/

And have all the libraries installed and have run all the apt-get stuff from this page....

Do you have g++ properly installed?

Do you have g++ properly installed?

I believe so.... but I was just coming back to close this thread... I found a fix....

sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall

run this to install "build-essentials" and then the rest of sfml-coders instructions seam to work fine.

So you were trying to compile and use SFML without first having a working programming environment. Looks like you're doing things in the wrong order
