You set the environment variable in $HOME/.profile or $HOME/.bash_profile or other shell configuration file that your shell is using. Using bash shell, you would add a line saying:
Code:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/mydir/ticcutils

You would substitute the actual path where you installed the tools. It probably wants the highest level directory for the ticcutils, but that is just my best guess.

You would be a lot better off to use apt-get if that is possible. It is usually not a good idea to install by hand on ubuntu, unless there is some special reason. If you use apt-get, you probably already know, everything automatically works correctly and is kept track of, and is quick and easy. Smilie
