Hey, I'm not sure if I should really write this here, but took me ages to figure out how to fix a similar problem with LAPACK missing - even after adding my own FindLAPACK.cmake file from: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/libigl/eigen/master/cmake/FindLAPACK.cmake and adding /lib/usr/x86_64-linux-gnu to the find path (and after having the same problems with ITPP)

My fix was to run:
apt install liblapack-dev

Sorry if that seems obvious, but couldn't find it anywhere!

It's just because you don't have the Itpp library, you can download it from

https://sourceforge.net/projects/itpp/files/

and install itpp

then it can work

You need to patch cmake modules, at least on ubuntu 18.10

Or use "/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf" as a search path for use on Raspbian 👍

Worked for me.

[mmiller7]

Or use "/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf" as a search path for use on Raspbian +1

How?

Sorry i did not understand what should i do from inside the ../LTE-Cell-Scanner/build directory: could you explain your solution to me please?

On ubuntu, the ittp and rtlsdr library are installed in the unusual place /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

So the custom made cmake module provided by LTE-Cell-Scanner to find the previously mentionned library, fails, because it does not look in the right place (aka /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu)

By applying a patch (this is the text displayed in my previous post), you fix that, by adding that directory so that cmake look there too.

If you don't know about patch or how to patch, you can simply edit with an editor the files cmake/Modules/FindITPP.cmake and cmake/Modules/FindRTLSDR.cmake and add the /usr/lib/86_64-linux-gnu directory in the FIND_LIBRARY function)
Just do so that it looks like in the text displayed above (don't mind the +++ and don't add them)

I am wondering why I was never notified of your comment. It is pure luck that I found it, because I came back here by chance.

if compiling for linux VM in apple silicon you need to add the following:
/usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu

in the FIND_LIBRARY function of these files:

• cmake/Modules/FindFFTW.cmake
• cmake/Modules/FindRTLSDR.cmake
• cmake/Modules/FindITPP.cmake
