I'm trying to use a library I downloaded off Github to control some addressable LEDs. I used the "Sketch" tab, "Add Library" command to open the Zip version of the library. I got no error of any kind at that point.
But when I try to compile my program, the library is not getting loaded, even though I have the following "include" statement: #include <PololuLedStrip.h>
If I cut and paste the library files into my program, that works fine. So I guess somehow the library is not properly loaded. I can't figure out what to check, or how to fix this issue.
Okay, I figured out the problem. The header file that I wanted to include was inside a folder within a folder. I had to pull it out of the inner folder and put it in the outer folder.
I guess the #include command triggers a look inside just the first folder in the library, and when the header file was not found there, it was not included, even though it was nested inside an inner folder.

Correct. The compiler is not going looking for include files if they are not where they are supposed to be.
