Description

Describe the bug
I have installed by vcpk method and got "jsoncpp:x64-linux is already installed" as response; but when I compile the example it still exhibits error: cannot find -ljsoncpp: No such file or directory. And I cannot find libjsoncpp in /usr either.
what's wrong in this case?

Research direction

Reproduce the reported failure on Ubuntu 22.04 using the x64-linux installation and the example build described in the issue. Trace how the installed jsoncpp library is exposed to the compiler and linker, especially the library search path used with -ljsoncpp. Done means the example builds successfully after installation.
