ROS installation somehow sets CMake the search path to point to favor ROS packages in /opt/ros. I want find_package(PCL) to choose the version in /usr/lib rather than /opt/ros/groovy (The ROS version is missing all of the Grabber stuff) How can I prevent this behavior? Is there some environment variable I need to set?

CMake uses the environment variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to specify the search path for all find_*() commands.

What variable or file does ROS modify when it gets installed, which adds it to the front of the search path? CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH is unset on my machine.

When you source the setup.bash/sh these environment variables will be set.
