[CMake] libtool: link: only absolute run-paths are allowed

[Michael Jackson]

CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX needs an argument which is where you want FFTW installed. The Default value for CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX on Unix type machines is /usr/local. So your CMake code needs to have something like
ExternalProject_Add(
  fftw
  SOURCE_DIR /home/stratton/Public/ppml/external/fftw-3.3.3
  CONFIGURE_COMMAND <SOURCE_DIR>/configure ${CONFIGURE_PARALLEL_FLAG}
  CMAKE_ARGS -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/stratton/Public/ppml/FFTW
    PATH=$DEPLOY_DIR/FFTW
  BUILD_COMMAND make
)

I found DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the docs, which seems to avoid the libtool problem, but I'm getting errors saying I don't have permissions writing files to /usr/local/include.  Why would it be trying to write files there?
