Summary0015717: If first FindBoost component is mpi, it cannot find other components
DescriptionFindBoost assumes that the first component found is where all components will be found:

macro(_Boost_FIND_LIBRARY var build_type)

  find_library(${var} ${ARGN})

  if(${var})
    # If this is the first library found then save Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_[RELEASE,DEBUG].
    if(NOT Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_${build_type})
      get_filename_component(_dir "${${var}}" PATH)
      set(Boost_LIBRARY_DIR_${build_type} "${_dir}" CACHE PATH "Boost library directory ${build_type}" FORCE)
    endif()

This breaks on Fedora if the first component is mpi, mpi_python, or graph_parallel because these are located in the mpi specific location (e.g. /usr/lib64/mpich/lib) while the others are in the regular location.

Steps To ReproduceOn Fedora, install boost-mpich-devel and mpich-devel

module load mpi/mpich-x86_64

CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
set(BOOST_MIN_VERSION 1.41)
FIND_PACKAGE(MPI)
FIND_PACKAGE(Boost ${BOOST_MIN_VERSION} REQUIRED COMPONENTS mpi serialization)
