I don't really know but your ExternalProject_Add( looks strange?
Do you really want to use **current** project source dir
(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR})
as the PREFIX of your external project?
I bet this is a mistake you usually use a separate prefix for **each**
external project
and probably use at least a subdirectory of the current "meta-project"
It looks like you somehow inherit the "default" CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX
from the current project which happens to be "/usr/local", thus the
failure.

Right, looks like a good idea, but you need to specify a proper prefix.
