While installing the dolfin package using dorsal I get the following error:

Found configuration for project FEniCS.
Fetching dolfin
Already up-to-date.
Building dolfin
CMake Error at /usr/local/share/cmake-3.8/Modules/GetPrerequisites.cmake:228 (message):

Exit message: There was a problem configuring dolfin.

Could anyone help me with this matter?
