For instance, I got the following problem when attempting to build
"csope".[1]

>> Package history was not found in the pkg-config search path.
>> Perhaps you should add the directory containing `history.pc'
>> to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
>> No package 'history' found

Fortunately it was easy to hand-roll a replacement.
