I am using an older version.  I need to install it myself.

Sean: don't worry about Franklin, I'll get to it next week.

The problem is definitely that ParMETIS isn't properly locating its GKlib subproject, and I think that the issue is in the lines I pointed out, but I'm not sure as to what the appropriate replacement for i"${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}" isin your situation.
