[CMake] problems with cache and findvtk

No, I do not have any cache files in the whole source tree.
The easiest - and the most suspicious - way to reproduce is:
1) cmake -C ~/src/mesh/CMakeInitialCache-x60.cmake ~/src/mesh
(this configures correctly, values from the cache are taken, I see them
displayed with MESSAGE. Now "make whatever" would work as expected.
2) ccmake .
(just this, no reconfigure, no re-generate, just run and quit)
3) cmake -C ~/src/mesh/CMakeInitialCache-x60.cmake ~/src/mesh
This now does not work anymore. Some snippets from the output:
loading initial cache
file /home/domel/src/mesh/CMakeInitialCache-x60.cmake
(...)
-- IDIR_HDF5: /home/domel/pack/hdf5-1.8.3/src (several variables *ARE*
correctly there
(...)
Warning: CMake is forcing CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to "/usr/bin/c++" to match
that imported from VTK. This is required because C++ projects must use
the same compiler. If this message appears for more than one imported
project, you have conflicting C++ compilers and will have to re-build
one of those projects. Was set to /usr/bin/g++
(...)
-- IMESH: QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE: /usr/bin/qmake (still several more
variables are OK)
(...)
-- Configuring done
You have changed variables that require your cache to be deleted.
Configure will be re-run and you may have to reset some variables.
The following variables have changed:
CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER= /usr/bin/c++
(so the cache is deleted!!! why??? Now the configuration re-starts and
ALL variables are gone:)
-- IDIR_HDF5: (empty...)
CMake Error at /usr/local/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindVTK.cmake:134
(MESSAGE):
VTK not found. Set the VTK_DIR cmake cache entry to the directory
containing VTKConfig.cmake. This is either the root of the build
tree, or
PREFIX/lib/vtk for an installation. For VTK 4.0, this is the location
of
UseVTK.cmake. This is either the root of the build tree or
PREFIX/include/vtk for an installation.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
CMakeLists.txt:80 (FIND_PACKAGE)
Any ideas why no action whatsoever causes the failure?
Many thanks!
