I am currently using the 4 Feb 2024 version of LAMMPS in my university’s HPC. I am trying to build through CMAKE. The problem is CMAKE is not creating lammps module in python’s site_packages folder. So I am not able to import lammps in python. I found out that this should happen during the ‘make install’ command. So when I checked my CMakeCache.txt file, I found out that there has been a series of failure concerning finding python modules (if I am not wrong)

My LAMMPS shared library is in my .local/lib64/ folder. My site-packages folder is in /users/username/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages. But CMAKE uses the directory where my HPC has installed the global modules (/opt/compiler/python/3.12.1/).
Is this the reason there is an issue? How can I make sure that LAMMPS uses my site-packages folder instead?
