Description

Hello,

To become familiar with qpid, I downloaded 1.40.0-SNAPSHOT and am attempting to build it.

I worked through supplying the dependencies; however, when I build I'm getting the following error:
CMake Error at src/CMakeLists.txt:313 (message):
No Uuid API found

Looking at the logs I see the error is occurring because rpc.h is not being found.
/home/rns/qpid-cpp/BLD/CMakeFiles/CMakeTmp/CheckSymbolExists.c:2:10: fatal error: rpc.h: No such file or directory
2 | #include <rpc.h>

^~~~~~~ compilation terminated.

Reading online it seems that rpc.h is not present in glibc on RHEL8 (based on Fedora 28).
I've tried other options like installing libtirpc to see if that will supply an rpc.h that I can use; however that doesn't seem to help. 

I'm reaching out to find out if anyone has tried to install on Fedora 32 and get some ideas on how to proceed.

I've attached what I see on stdout when running:
cmake -DPYTHON_LIBRARIES=/usr/lib64/python2.7 ..

Since this is Fedora 32, it came with Python 3, so I had to install Python 2.7 and point at it.
Also attached a copy of the CMakeError file.

Thanks!
