I'm finding issues when installing NCEPLIBS-ip after installing NCEPLIBS-sp

[isabelSTst]

Hello, I'm very new at this and I'm following the instructions given on https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-ip after I successfully install NCEPLIBS-sp following https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-sp .
I get an error after writing this command: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/BFPS_PYTHON/build_2 ~/BFPS_PYTHON/NCEPLIBS-ip/
(build_2 is a new directory I created because I couldn't use the build directory I created for NCEPLIBS-sp)
And I'm obtaining the following error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:47 (find_package):
By not providing "Findsp.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked
CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "sp", but CMake did
not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "sp" (requested
version 2.3.0) with any of the following names:

spConfig.cmake
sp-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "sp" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "sp_DIR" to
a directory containing one of the above files. If "sp" provides a separate
development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Can please anyone help me? I need that library.
Thanks in advance.

Update: I have also tried to install it on the build directory I created for the NCEPLIBS-sp but then I get this error message:

CMake Error at /home/iist/BFPS_PYTHON/build/sp-config.cmake:32 (include):
include could not find requested file:

/home/iist/BFPS_PYTHON/build/sp-targets.cmake

I don't know what else to try please help me.

Hi Isabel- I think the key is to add the sp install directory (~/BFPS_PYTHON/build) to your CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH when building ip, that way it will know where to look for the sp config files. The following works for me:

git clone https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-sp
mkdir NCEPLIBS-sp/build
cd NCEPLIBS-sp/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/BFPS_PYTHON/build
make install

cd ../..
git clone https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/NCEPLIBS-ip
mkdir NCEPLIBS-ip/build
cd NCEPLIBS-ip/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/BFPS_PYTHON/build_2 -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=~/BFPS_PYTHON/build
make install
