VXL fails to build with CMake on Mac OS 10.6

[roger.hubbold@…]

VXL fails with a message about a missing library. Web searching reveals that others have encounter a similar problem with other software. The common factor seems to be CMake. The message is:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.

I've attached a file containing the output with the -d flag.

I have no idea how to fix this. Can anyone help? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I previously installed vxl on 10.5 (using Macports) and everything worked fine. I get the same error if I try to build from source code under 10.6.

Looks like you have a bunch of crap in /usr/local - this is unsupported.
