Loading SymEngine never finishes

[erny123]

Running Xeus-Cling on Conda + Ubuntu.

I make, build, and install SymEngine from source: https://github.com/symengine/symengine.git

mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

Then run Xeus-Cling via conda and do:

#pragma cling add_include_path("/usr/local/include/")
#pragma cling add_library_path("/usr/local/lib/")
#pragma cling load("symengine")

with an error:

input_line_14:3:31: fatal error: 'symengine' file not found
#pragma cling load("symengine")
                              ^
Interpreter Error: 

What's the proper way to load third party libraries that were compiled on your personal system?

Ok, so SymEngine is creating a static library: libsymengine.a and when using: #pragma cling load("/path/to/libsymengine.a") it does not recognize it.

Does Xeus-Cling not compatible with static libraries?
