Please check your CMakeCache.txt to make sure you have:
WITH_LASZIP:BOOL=ON

If so, confirm also that you have lines in the same file similar to:
//Path to a file.
LASZIP_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/usr/local/include

//Path to a library.
LASZIP_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/usr/local/lib/liblaszip.dylib

If you re-run cmake, it should also report whether LASZIP was enabled and
found:

-- The following RECOMMENDED packages have been found:

 * LASzip
   Provides LASzip compression

Hope this helps,
