Re: I can not install nmapfe.

Good day Roman,

You searched for the wrong file. PKG_CONFIG_PATH is supposed to be the
path to pkg-config configuration directory, while you searched for
pkg-config binary. You should look in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
(default path for compilation) and /usr/lib/pkgconfig (distribution
default) directories. These are the directories where all gnome
packages store their configuration files.

So, first see if there is a file for glib-2 in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig. If it's there, change you PKG_CONFIG_PATH as
following:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

See manual page of pkg-config: 'man pkg-config'.

cheers,
~manu
