First it was not able to find the secp256k1.h file. So i installed secp256k1 which was in the src folder. (./autogen && ./configure && make && make install)
then wallet compiled (make -f makefile.unix)
after running the daemon i get below error:
simplicityd: error while loading shared libraries: libsecp256k1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
os is ubuntu 16.04 LTS
I know i am doing something stupidity here
