Okay, then this might help:

IF(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT)
	SET(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX "/usr/local" CACHE PATH "Foo install
		 prefix" FORCE)
ENDIF(CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX_INITIALIZED_TO_DEFAULT)

Of course, this is not my idea. It had someone from kitware, I don't
remember who it was.
