Hello,
I've got a bit in trouble trying to build ganesha (4.0.2) with python admin tools on
RHEL8, the search for the python interpreter fails (it does have python3.6 available in
/usr/bin).
I am not sure if it is problem in the CMakeLists.txt configuration or
an environment / cmake problem (as I am not familiar with cmake).
I had a similar issue on Centos7, but I got it solved with Python_ROOT_PATH set to
/usr/bin,
this solution doesn't work at all on RHEL8 and I didn't find any other.
The only difference that I currently see is that on centos7 cmake is 3.17.5
and on rhel8 cmake is 3.20.2. And AFAIK, the FindPython.cmake changed quite
a bit in between.
If I put back the old FindPython module on RHEL8, the python package is found.
Trying to debug the search (find_program),
I found that the NAMES are always empty e.g:
VAR: _Python_EXECUTABLE
NAMES:
Documentation: Path to a program.

I thought that it was a configuration problem on my side, but after
digging a bit it seems that the cmake_parse_arguments (PARSE_ARGV ...)
gets misinterpreted and uses PARSE_ARGV as a prefix... But it seems a bit too
big to be true.
Is this a known problem ? Does someone has any insight / pointers on this ?
