I looked at a few, but haven't been able to figure it out. I did the following
In the pupnp directory
./configure
make
sudo make install

then I tried
env | grep UPNP
env | grep upnp

nothing showed up, so no variables indicating where the lib was installed. I must be missing something very obvious...
