It's a tool to build the software so that it runs.

I did make sure: I used -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local , which is perfectly
valid and standard. I than used cmake to install. That installation should
work. And if for some reason it can't (which shouldn't happen IMHO) - I should
have been informed. I won't split hairs, so - I wouldn't have minded if it had
been cmake install that gives some error or warning messages.

But, again, I shouldn't need to: I did something very standard and
straightfoward and the result was not as expected, without any warning/error
messages up until installation. That _is_ a bug.

Having said that - I did ask for help on the IRC channel, but none was
extended. Which of the other two media would you suggest?
