I do not know either.  But a solution sure is to rename ptlib.pc and 
/usr/include/ptlib and see if the compilation works.  The same for opal.

There is for opal a configure and/or make option, PTLIBDIR, but I am not 
sure...

For ex., for simpleopal from opal I use:
        $(MAKE) PTLIBDIR=/usr OPALDIR=$(CURDIR) -C samples/simple

Finally, on opalvoip web site you might find information...

Sorry for not being precise.
