What give you the command "pkg-config
--variable=prefix ORBit-2.0" when typed directly in
the shell? If the path is good, then perhaps you omit
the ` characters before and after the command. If it's
incorrect, then you can try to replace it with the
right path hardcoded in the command; something like
"--prefix=/opt/gnome" or elsewhere you installed
Gnome's packages.

Put it in your /etc/profile or elsewhere read at
connexion.
