No rule to make target for gTest

edit

While using $ catkin_make run_tests_test_pkg, the following error is generated by cmake:

*** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/libgtest.so', needed by '/home/username/catkin_ws/devel/lib/test_pkg/sampleTest'. Stop.

I uninstalled gtest (and ROS) and reinstalled it again, but the error persists. The tests are successfully built on another system (ensured via git) with same OS (ubuntu 14.04)

What are the possible reasons for this error, and how can this be removed?

EDIT: CMakeLists.txt (unchanged, except for minor filename modifications:
