Octave/LimeSuite configuration

General Discussion

I’m struggling with configuring Octave to use with LimeSuite. I’ve downloaded the latest Octave (5.2.0), installed communications, control, and signal packages. I’ve compiled LimeSuite (cmake output below). The problem comes when in Octave calling a routine like LimeInitialize can’t find the library. The library is located in /usr/local/lib. Octave is installed via snap so I haven’t been able to create a link or copy the library to someplace that Octave can find it. Any ideas? Thanks –

Suspect that having Octave in a snap and Lime Suite outside may be causing problems and would recommend installing Octave from source into /usr/local also.

Okay, will do that. Thanks for response
