Why do *you* need to check ctest? What were you going to do with it
if it failed?

My surmise is that you are running this in a binary installation,
not in the source tree. No one said you could check on installed packages
in a binary installation.

It shouldn't get copied: it should get installed. I think you are running
this in a binary installation: at least on Windows it is not supposed to
work except for addon packages or on a source installation.
