I don't suppose this is recommended practice, but I've had success
simply symlinking the name of the "missing" library to the one I have
installed.  This usually seems to work if the installed version is
later than the missing version; it's probably a lot more risky the
other way around.  And, if it doesn't work, no harm's done.

(I haven't done this specifically with nvu, but did do it recently
with the C++ libraries and an installer, and it worked fine.)
