Is pkg_config installed in a directory in your $PATH? (do 'echo $PATH' to see
what those directories are). If not put it in one of those directories. And do
not forget to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH. like .e.g:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/gtk2/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/
pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

BTW, /usr/include/gtk2.2 is a _bad_ place to install the whole of gtk2 IMO. It's
better to use something like /opt/gtk2 or /usr/local/gtk2, so it does not
interfere with an existing gtk1 setup.

I've got some shell-scripts that I use to install the components of GTK+2.2. If
you want them, I could send them to you (off the list).
