should that not be 
$export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
where pkgconfing is a directory containing the meta info for installed
packages?
you might like to try
$cat /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgsf
should tell you if it's in the /usr/lib directory, what version etc. If
it comes up with the error "no such ..." then maybe rpm has installed it
'ahem' someplace else.
man find ??

I'm no expert, so someone please jump in if I have this all backwards.
