And then there is of course this too: edd@rob:~$ pkg-config --modversion nlopt 2.4.2 edd@rob:~$ pkg-config --modversion quantlib 1.16 edd@rob:~$ so eg in QuantLib (which uses its own quantlib-config from going back to the days before we had pkg-config) I test for minimally-viable versions, and only if pkg-config reveals and insufficient version do I check explicit configure options to supply a library dir and include dir.
