CMake configuration failure

When configuring CMake without deleting the CMakeCache.txt (like when modifying a CMakeLists.txt file) I get the following error message:

...
[cmake] -- Checking for expected Conduit target 'conduit::conduit'
[cmake] CMake Error at cmake/SeracMacros.cmake:131 (message):
[cmake]   Conduit failed to load:
[cmake]   /home/sam/code/serac_libs_sept_24/spack/opt/spack/linux-ubuntu22.04-skylake/gcc-12.3.0/conduit-0.9.1-fdle5ykhzyve3ltgg4kyqqieenipeamf

[cmake]   CMakeLists.txt:166 (include)
[cmake] 
[cmake] 
[cmake] -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

However, when deleting the CMakeCache.txt and starting from scratch it does configure successfully.

I spoke with @white238 about this offline and I believe he figured out the cause and solution to this issue.

To summarize, this behavior above results from a bug in an older version of axom where CONDUIT_FOUND was accidentally set as a cache variable. This has since been fixed, but serac still targets a ~6 month old version of axom (from before the fix), so updating serac's version of axom should resolve this.
