Description
I expected a pkg-config .pc file to get installed, but no such file is installed:
```
$ meson install
ninja: Entering directory `/usr/src/igsc/build'
ninja: no work to do.
Installing lib/libigsc.so.1.3.1 to /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
Installation failed due to insufficient permissions.

Installing symlink pointing to libigsc.so.1 to /usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libigsc.so
```
So when I try to build xpu-smi afterwards:
```
Run-time dependency igsc found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
meson.build:243:11: ERROR: Dependency "igsc" not found, tried pkgconfig and cmake
```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Inspect meson.build, especially the dependency setup around line 243, and reproduce the installation with `meson install`. Confirm that the installed library exposes the metadata xpu-smi expects through pkg-config; done means xpu-smi's Meson configure step reports that the igsc dependency is found.
