Good news:
Your installer works as is on Mountain Lion !!

The only problem was cmake 2.8.10.1 installed by homebrew. 

I actually found a hint on gmane that was actually from you :-) (earlier this year). 

Downgrading cmake to 2.8.9 did the trick. 
Maybe we need to add a version check that prevends the trouble I had with this. 
I think of black-listing versions that do not work.
