Hi,

Thanks for the post.
Have you also tried to install cfitsio-devel and build w/o the builtin option?

Cheers,

Hello!

Can you verify that the problem is solved by the one-line-change that I also suggest in this PR?

You just need to change one line in builtins/cfitsio/CMakeLists.txt and restart the build-from-source process from scratch.

Cheers,
Jonas
