[Insight-users] Problem installing ITK 4.2.0 on Mac OS 10.8

[Rehan Ali]

I'm having trouble building the ITK 4.2.0 source (downloaded from the
ITK site) on a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. I've tried using
cmake-2.8.8 (Macports version) and cmake-2.8.9 (downloaded GUI from
official site), and both generate the same issue.

I've set up a 'build' subdirectory in the ITK directory as my target.
When I press "configure" in the cmake GUI, I get the following error
message:

Error in configuration process, project files may be invalid

The log at the bottom ends with the following:

[snip]
Enabled ITKVideoFiltering, requested by ITK_BUILD_ALL_MODULES.
Filter ZLIB is ON
CMake Error at Utilities/InstallTest/CMakeLists.txt:2 (if):
  if given arguments:
    "x/usr/local" "MATCHES"
"^x/Users/rehanali/Code/C++/InsightToolkit-4.2.0/build/InstallTest\$"
  Regular expression
  "^x/Users/rehanali/Code/C++/InsightToolkit-4.2.0/build/InstallTest$" cannot
  compile
Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Does this mean I have to build into /usr/local? I didn't see anything
about this in the accompanying installation instructions.

When I run
   cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" ..
using the command line version, I get the above error again, but the
output is more detailed and I find other issues appearing before that.
I'm not sure whether or not these are related:

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

All the best,
