Not where it was built but where it is installed using the **make install**. In the quoted case above, the source was build using the **-DCMAKE\_INSTALL\_PREFIX=/home/marty/sdr/limesdr/runtime** cmake option. The default prefix is **/usr/local** and in that case it should not be necessary to export the plugin path.

I do not know if it will work without running make install.
