PKG_CONFIG_PATH needs to be set to the path to the .pc files -
that is usually ${prefix}/share/pkgconfig - try setting
PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/share/pkgconfig and if this doesn't
work, run this to find out where it is...
find /usr/local -name "glib-2.0.pc" -print

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
Dave.
