Creating a link libmvec_nonshared.a to libmvec.a which is installed by 'make install'
allows compilation of the executable. So, I'm able to continue on with the other
tasks.

If creating that link is required on every installation of libmvec, this should be
specified prominently in the documentation for libmvec.
