Try this instead:

export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/include/hello

then in CMake script:

FIND_PATH(myPath hello.h)

In other words, drop the ${CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH} from FIND_PATH and all should
be well.

How the CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH environment variable or equivalent CMake variable
is used is documented at http://cmake.org/HTML/Documentation.html.  That's
where you find most explicit documentation (or the equivalent "cmake
--help-full" command.  For a summary of useful CMake variables look at
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Useful_Variables.
