Here is cmake:

You can get rpms of cmake and VTK:

http://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/local/RPMS/i386/

You will indeed need cmake and vtk installed to compile octaviz.  Be 
warned: the current octaviz release requires at least 1GB of memory to 
compile and takes a really long time.  I've just started to help the 
original author (Dragan Tubic) with octaviz, and I understand that there 
will be a new release relatively soon.

For those interested in octaviz, I suggest you first get vtk installed 
and running on your computer.  Try out some of the python examples since 
octaviz uses very similar syntax for octave scripting.  If you can't get 
octaviz-0.2 to compile and can't wait for the next release, email me 
offlist and I can send you an interim release.
