Pkg_config can't find file I have, changing path didn't work

favorite












I'm installing a theme on my Ubuntu and when I run:



$ sudo ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr


I get the error:



No package 'gdk-pixbuf-2.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.


I have the gdk-pixbuf-2.0 folder in usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
so I did the command:



export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu


and tried installing it again. It still couldn't find the gdk-pixbuf-2.0. Any idea on how I can change the path to find the folder? Also, this last part might be irrelevant but how would I then remove that path after I set it without damaging the default paths?
