I am new to the world of grpc and wanted to run the simple examples provided on:

However even after following the instructions provided I still get build errors.

The error I get is:
CMake Error at /home/krahww/grpc/examples/cpp/cmake/common.cmake:103 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/lib/cmake/protobuf/protobuf-config.cmake

  but it set Protobuf_FOUND to FALSE so package "Protobuf" is considered to
  be NOT FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  The following imported targets are referenced, but are missing:
  absl::absl_check absl::absl_log absl::die_if_null absl::log_initialize
  absl::log_globals

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:24 (include)

I have both Protobuf and Abseil installed so I do not know what the issue is.
Help would be appreciated!

I just followed the instructions verbatim and they worked flawlessly on an Ubuntu-based x86_64 OS.

What OS are you on?
What's your cmake version?
