I am trying to build and run the simple example for SoapySdr as found here https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR/wiki/C_API_Example. I can use the SDR with Gnuradio but that doesn't work for my application (reason not relevant). I get the simple program to compile but when it runs it doesn't see any devices. Running
SoapySDRUtil --info

No modules found and no factories found. For me the hard part is getting a time series stream from the device. I can do whatever processing I need on that stream.
So, I just need to get this simple example to run.
I've tried a number of installs such as
sudo apt-get install rtl-sdr soapysdr-module-rtlsdr
but nothing seems to change the result.
When I compile and run the example (I added a print statement to output the number of Soapy SDR devices found) I get this:
gcc -std=c99 example.c -lSoapySDR && ./a.out
Found 0 devicesSoapySDRDevice_make my fail: SoapySDR::Device::make() no match
