pkg-config is a bit silly about paths sometimes... IIRC, if you 
install something in /usr/local, it won't be found by something 
you're trying to install in /usr.

Can be solved by moving the .pc files around (normally found in 
PREFIX/lib/pkgconfig), or making symlinks.

However, I think the proper solution is to install things so that you 
never have dependencies in the wrong direction. It makes some sense 
that libs in /usr shouldn't depend on /usr/local.
