I know it sounds odd, but here was my situation.

I once installed an used brew to get Postgres. I guess i installed something from source after and it messed up the /usr/local/lib directory structures.

Somehow cmake wasn't found in my $PATH but none of the errors I was getting explicitly said as much.

I'd have thought brew doctor would have mentioned it too if cmake exists in the $PATH as it helps you correct other $PATH directory issues.

I'd flag this as a feature if i could find the button in here. Anyways, thanks! just reporting this to help someone else in google land. cmake's page has a dpkg for you too to download and install if you need it.
