What is your full cmake command?  Do you have to do anything special to 
configure your environment (module loading, etc)?

The main problem here is you're trying to follow instructions designed for 
10-year-old software on the current version.  I would expect it to fail.  The 
QM/MM interface is largely unmaintained.  It has been slated for a complete 
re-write for years, but it hasn't been finished.  ORCA should compile (I fixed a 
few random bugs related to that a while back), but beyond that, I have no idea. 
  FWIW, I tried Mopac years ago and it never worked.  That was in the 4.0.x series.
