Since DESTINATION is a relative path
 you'll get installed in

 ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/var/lib/myapp

 Isn't your CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX set to /usr ?

You may change install prefix (if it's appropriate)
 or use absolute path in DESTINATION arg of your INSTALL command.

 Note that your example looks straneg to me,
 are you willing to install you whole source tree (${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR})?
