CMake Error at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Boost-1.74.0/BoostConfig.cmake:141 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "boost_program_options" (requested version 1.74.0) with any of the
  following names:

    boost_program_optionsConfig.cmake
    boost_program_options-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "boost_program_options" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
  or set "boost_program_options_DIR" to a directory containing one of the
  above files.  If "boost_program_options" provides a separate development
  package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.
Call Stack (most recent call first):

  CMakeLists.txt:12 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

But I have installed Boost 1.74 using apt install libboost-dev. The command automatically installs libboost-program-options1.74-dev as a dependency. AFAIK program_options is a header-only library, and /usr/include/boost/program_options.hpp indeed exists on my server.

What might be the problem?
