If you install to a system wide prefix (like /usr or /usr/local which is
the default) there should be no trouble in finding wv-1.2.5. If you
installed to a personal prefix (like /home/username/myprefix) you might
need to specify your PKG_CONFIG_PATH (generally /prefix/lib/pkgconfig/
) This is pkg-config, standard in most modern linux software with
external dependencies.
