CMake (2.8.12.2) compiler check on Ubuntu 14.04 fails - gcc

Question

I'm trying to run this simple CMake command:
$ cmake -D CMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc -D CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/g++ ./src/
I get the following output:
-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.8.2
-- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.8.2
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- broken
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/CMakeTestCCompiler.cmake:61 (message):
The C compiler "/usr/bin/gcc" is not able to compile a simple test program.
The reason for the error is the following:
gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-rpath’
because CMake is trying to link with the following command:
/usr/bin/gcc -rpath /usr/local/openblas/lib
CMakeFiles/cmTryCompileExec1190183239.dir/testCCompiler.c.o -o
cmTryCompileExec1190183239 -rdynamic
to my knowledge there is no stand alone '-rpath' option with gcc. I'm not sure why CMake is trying to do this.
Did anyone else come across this? Solutions?
Thanks!
PS: Some more info that maybe useful:
I'm trying to learn how to use CMake so the directory structure is very simple:
-cmake_test/
-bin/
-src/
-executable.cpp
-CMakeLists.txt
-CMakeLists.txt
Edit:
Complete output for
$ cmake ./src/

Answer 1

I apologize to everyone... The error resulted from me making a mistake a while ago.
The answer in short is that I had the following incorrect line in my .bashrc file:
export LDFLAGS="-rpath /usr/local/openblas/lib "$LDFLAGS
and CMake has the following line in the CMakeCommonLanguageInclude.cmake module:
set (CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS_INIT} $ENV{LDFLAGS}"
Which obviously resulted in setting the CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS to -rpath /usr/local/openblas/lib and
hence the error. After changing the .bashrc file to:
export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath=/usr/local/openblas/lib "$LDFLAGS
the issue was resolved.
I have no idea why this didn't come up with the GUI version though :-)
I probably messed up the .bashrc file by reading an OSX forum or something.
Anyway thanks for the answers!
