  cmake/modules/FindPLX.cmake:18 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
  CMakeLists.txt:126 (find_package)

Cause

The PLX library is has either not been built or the symbolic link to PlxApi.a has not been created.

Solution

Check if the symbolic link /opt/plx/current exists and points to the correct PLX API. For more information on installing the PLX API see our PLX installaion information. If the PLX API has been installed and the symbolic link is valid, check that a symbolic link /opt/plx/current/PlxApi/Library/libPlxApi.a exists and points to PlxApi.a. For more information about this symbolic link refer to the symbolic link installation notes.
