This would be great, at least it would improve my experience in two ways: 1) it would make sure that the library and interpreter are compatible and 2) it would make the library automatically locatable.
I agree I can use CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to solve my immediate problem, though. ________________________________________ From: cmake-boun...@cmake.org [cmake-boun...@cmake.org] On Behalf Of Rolf Eike Beer [e...@sf-mail.de] Sent: Tuesday, June 26, 2012 10:18 AM To: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] Python version specification in FindPythonInterp is ignored > Actually, clearing the cache worked for FindPythonInterp but I still can't > get FindPythonLibs.cmake to work.

Again, is there a hint I can > give to help it find the version I want? You already got an answer regarding CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH which should fix most of your issue. But I wonder if we should import what the current FindPythonLibs.cmake from kdelibs does: ask the found python interpreter for it's library first and use that if available. In most cases I assume that you want to get a python library that matches your default python interpreter (or a specified one). So doing find_package(PythonLibs 3.2) would search for python3.2, then ask it for the library and then fall back to the usual searching. I don't do any python stuff, I just cleaned up all the version number stuff in there and argue with the Gentoo CMake maintainers because they keep adding stuff that breaks the version selection later. From what I was able to get out of them the above should fit their needs too (even if they were not able until today to specify what they would see as the "right" behavior of this at all). This is certainly nothing for 2.8.9, but something that I would do shortly after to get maximum testing until 2.8.10. Opinions?
