Catkin_make runs another cmakelists file

Every time I run catkin_make on a new workspace, I get the output of another cmakelists file (naturally catkin_make fails) that I used in another non-ros program. I've looked in the catkin_make source sys.path to see if the path had somehow been modified. Moreover, I checked the bashrc to see if I was adding paths but it seems that there's nothing odd there either.
