CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:136 (message):
  Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS)

Which package is missing here? python-libs is installed:

$ rpm -qa | grep python-libs
python-libs-2.7.8-7.fc21.i686
python-libs-2.7.8-7.fc21.x86_64

The message is a little bit misleading here for the Fedora environment.

What you need is the python-devel package here. You can install it by

# yum install python-devel
