cannot build - not finding libeng.so file

[andrewufrank]

I try to build the package from hackage with lts-14.27 and the corresponding ghc 8.6.5. I have put the necessary extra libraries as flags to cabal or stack, as recommended in the read-me file, but cannot find the libeng.so (i.e. the linker complains Missing (or bad) C libraries: eng, eng. I assume the missing file is libeng.so which I saw in some other reports on problems with Matlab.

I have the current Matlab version R2022a and fear that is the cause. Any suggestions?

Do you see libeng.so on your system? I'm just looking at #2, maybe check that if you haven't. Sorry, I haven't even run this package (or MATLAB) in years! Good luck!
