I believe you need to edit the CMakeCache.txt directly, either via an
editor or the CMake GUI. You cannot do it from within your
CMakeLists.txt file. In general, values stored in the cache cannot be
overridden by CMakeLists.txt. (Otherwise, you'd lose your changes all
the time!)

Also, make sure you delete and re-link your libraries. (Not necessary
the .o files.) The CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH option changes the makefile
options, but does not cause the libraries to be re-linked.

Hope this helps.

Amitha.
