I haven't followed the problem but if you want pkg-config to find libraries installed in the /usr/local prefix add /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environmental variable. It is very bad practice to move libraries around by hand after you have installed them because the libraries may not load correctly (even if you move them to somewhere specified in /etc/ld.so.conf).
