                            --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
--localstatedir=/var

leads to:

checking how to link gmock... configure: error: Can't figure out where
Google Mock lives; either install the google-mock package or place the
library in the link path

However:
=======
1) *It is already installed*:
# apt-cache policy google-mock
google-mock:
  Installed: 1.7.0-18092013-2.1

2) *There is no library in the package; intalled files:*

3) *trying Include path:*
./configure   --enable-reload-cache \
                    --with-google-mock=/usr/include/gmock \
                    --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

leads to the same error because the option is not recognized:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-google-mock

4) *trying additional compiler flag:*
../configure   CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/include/gmock" \
                     --enable-reload-cache \
                     --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var

leads to the same error.
Same with CPPFLAGS.

What could be done to work around this issue?
Regards.
