[CMake] Cannot find "modules" directory on MacOS

[Ryan Pavlik]

How are you running cmake?  I've used the installer from the web site on my
mac, and it works fine both from the GUI and the command line, and I did not
have to move/link the modules.  Is it possible that you have some other
version of cmake installed (from macports, fink, or brew?)?  Try removing
it, if that is the case, and installing anew from the cmake-provided
binaries.
