Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If a library / binary / header is not found, the default behavior for pathfinder is to return None. This leaves the exception handling to users. User would either: 1) search on their own, 2) further raise the issue. Writing the custom error message for the library isn't particularly easy (basically directing user to install the right package) so it would be nice to also handle that inside the pathfinder library.
Basically, I suggest a if_not_found={"raise", "return_none"} flag, that either raises or returns None when a library isn't found. When raise is set and a library isn't found, a PathfinderNotFound exception is raised, with specific error message directing user to install the missing package.
