I built CMake 4.0.0 like this (on a Rocky Linux 9 host):
bootstrap --prefix=/usr/local
make -j$(nproc) && make -j$(nproc) install/strip
/usr/local/share/cmake-4.0/Modules/FindBoost.cmake (among 444 other modules) was installed.
But find\_package does not seem to find it. In the output is also the result of these two lines from my CMakeLists.txt:
```auto
message(STATUS "CMake system module path: ${CMAKE_SYSTEM_MODULE_PATH}")
message(STATUS "CMake module path: ${CMAKE_MODULE_PATH}")
```
```auto

[cmake] By not providing "FindBoost.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has

[cmake] CMake did not find one.
```
The upstream provided CMake 3.26.5 did not have this problem. But I needed generator expressions for CXX\_CPPCHECK, thus I decided to upgrade.
Can anybody help me find out what is wrong?

Explicitly adding the /usr/local/share/cmake-4.0/Modules dir to CMAKE\_MODULE\_PATH took me a bit further.
```auto
[cmake] CMake Error at /usr/local/share/cmake-4.0/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:389 (message):
[cmake] The FindBoost module has been removed by policy CMP0167.
[cmake] Call Stack (most recent call first):

[cmake] CMakeLists.txt:30 (find_package)
```
I am using the Rocky Linux 9 provided boost-devel 1.75.0 rpm package. Which does not contain any cmake related files. I hade the impression boost started to provided proper cmake configuration from version 1.70 (or something similar). Maybe the rpm packager wasn’t aware of that…
So my current solution is involving this:
```auto
if (POLICY CMP0167)
cmake_policy(SET CMP0167 OLD)
endif ()
```
