It looks like a glitch in the CMake scripts to me. When building metis 
within parmetis (METIS_PATH CMake variable is not specfified), the 
variable METIS_INSTALL is not set. This leads to a missing install step 
for the metis library. Further, the CMakeLists.txt file in metis/include 
is never processed, so the install command for metis.h is not processed.

Maybe the ParMetis folks had reasons for it... I'd be interested in it too.
