cmake @3.0.0_3: "Could not find CMAKE_ROOT" error at runtime

[don.spong@…]

Hi,

I tried to install cmake using macports. The install seems to go okay. But then when I try to use cake, it says it cannot find CMAKE_ROOT and that the installation was not done correctly (see below). What do I need to do to fix this:
