Re: compiling GR 3.10.5.1 with ENABLE_GR_SOAPY=ON

[aardric]

That looked promising but produced the same result.
I found this line in the CMakeCache.txt:

//No help, variable specified on the command line.
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:UNINITIALIZED=~/.local

which I don't understand.

I certainly appreciate the suggestions and it encourages me to keep
plugging away. It will be a learning experience for sure.
