Hmm. See if you can reproduce it with something simple like: $ cat test.cmake find_program(MATLAB NAMES matlab) message(MATLAB=${MATLAB}) $ cmake -P test.cmake Then build your own CMake with -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug and run it in a debugger to track down what goes wrong. Set a breakpoint on "cmsys::SystemTools::FileExists" to step through the low level checks. > BTW, I cannot see in the documentation that find_program unwraps symlinks. I meant that when checking for existence and permissions it uses something equivalent to "stat" as against "lstat". A broken symlink is not considered to exist. It certainly doesn't resolve symlinks in the returned path. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
