Issue installing with Yarp on both Ubuntu 18.04 and 22.04

[pamely]

I have attempted to install YARP on my Ubuntu 18.04 device, however, I got an unexpected error message

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:33 (find_package):
Could not find a configuration file for package "YCM" that is compatible
with requested version "0.15.1".

The following configuration files were considered but not accepted:

/usr/share/cmake/YCM/YCMConfig.cmake, version: 0.13.0

Kindly find attached a screenshot of the error as well as the error log file.
Thank you in advance for your assistance. I am looking forward to reading from you soon.

As it seems that ycm is installed in /usr install prefix, I guess you installed the ycm-cmake-modules package from apt, that is unfortunatly out of our control and outdated, i.e. it is too old to be used to build YARP.

I suggest to remove it, i.e. :

sudo apt remove ycm-cmake-modules

and try again by installing from source a recent version of YCM, thanks!

Thank you @traversaro. As you mentioned, the error is due to the fact that I installed ycm-cmake-modules pacakges from apt. To help news users of YARP can you please update the documentation available on https://www.yarp.it/latest//install_yarp_linux.html#install_on_linux . I had no clue that using apt was problematic. Many thanks for your quick reply.
