Catkin enviornmental variables do not resolve

edit

When trying to compile moveit from the wiki directions I run into a cmake error:

-- +++ processing catkin package: 'moveit_planners_ompl'
-- ==> add_subdirectory(moveit_planners/ompl)
-- Boost version: 1.49.0
-- Found the following Boost libraries:
--   system
--   filesystem
--   date_time
--   thread
--   serialization
CMake Error at moveit_planners/ompl/CMakeLists.txt:20 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindOMPL.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "OMPL", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "OMPL" with any of
  the following names:

    OMPLConfig.cmake
    ompl-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "OMPL" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "OMPL_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "OMPL"
  provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been
  installed.


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
Invoking "cmake" failed

What I interpret from this error is that some of the magic that is performed by catkin as it ingests the CMakeList.txt didn't work quite right despite the fact that the file looks fine:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.3)
project(moveit_planners_ompl)

if(NOT CMAKE_CONFIGURATION_TYPES AND NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
  set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE Release)
endif()

add_subdirectory(ompl_interface)

install(FILES ompl_interface_plugin_description.xml
  DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_SHARE_DESTINATION})

The component I thought it was complaining about is the find package OMPL, but I tried including it in the catkin included components like recommended in the CMakeList.txt docs and this thread but the exact same error is produced. Has anyone encountered this problem before?
