How to link nvcomp to c++ library/executable?

I have tried to install nvcomp using pip as follows:
pip install nvidia-nvcomp-cu12==4.1.1.1

Then, I am trying to link to nvcomp by adding the following lines in my CMakeLists.txt:

include_directories(high_level_quickstart_example PRIVATE ${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/${VENV_DIR}/lib/python3.12/site-packages/nvidia/nvcomp/include/)
link_directories(${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/${VENV_DIR}/lib/python3.12/site-packages/nvidia/nvcomp/)
add_executable(high_level_quickstart_example benchmarks_cpp/test/high_level_quickstart_example.cpp)
target_link_libraries(high_level_quickstart_example PRIVATE nvcomp CUDA::cudart)

However, I when compling I get the following error:

/venv-benchmarks/lib/python3.12/site-packages/nvidia/nvcomp/include/nvcomp.h:17:10: fatal error: nvcomp_export.h: No such file or directory
   17 | #include "nvcomp/version.h"

I could not find any mention of this file anywhere. Similarly the file nvcomp_export.h is nowhere to be found...

Where can I find these files and why are they not included when installing with pip?
