You need modules, see e.g. #401

Note the path is /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.8-3 I would have thought it to be /usr/local/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.8?

@ncorgan Is this possibly a bug with some recent build system change?

I had to compile the modules we wanted to use with the latest ABI version 0.8-3 of SoapySDR to get them to work.

For my use case with C# bindings this was the only way since ABI v0.8 does not have the C# bindings.

When doing so make sure to set the SOAPY_SDR_ROOT environment variable to the install CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX value.

You could also check my github repo :
https://github.com/Psynosaur/SoapySDR-FFT-GUI/tree/main/SoapySDRFFTGUI/Resources/SoapySDR/lib/SoapySDR/modules0.8-3

Airspy is in there.

[Edit] I see you're on a non Windows OS, im unsure if those dlls would suffice.
You could also just compile the 0.8.0 tag and use the prebuilt modules which are on 0.8.0 from
https://github.com/pothosware/SoapySDR/releases/tag/soapy-sdr-0.8.0

@zuckschwerdt As you saw with the different paths, modules install in per-directory locations for safety. ABI bumps are sometimes common on master (as opposed to stable releases), so this will come up on occasion.
