You actually need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to the path that contains the
.pc files, after that it works just fine. Also, sometimes the package
name will contain the version # (gtk is gtk+-2.0 for instance).

# cd /opt/csw
# pkg-config --libs gtkspell
Package gtkspell was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing tkspell.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'gtkspell' found
# find . -name "gtkspell*.pc"
./lib/pkgconfig/gtkspell-2.0.pc
# PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/opt/csw/lib/pkgconfig pkg-config --libs gtkspell-2.0
-R/usr/openwin/lib -L/opt/csw/lib -L/usr/openwin/lib -lgtkspell -laspell
-lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0
-lpango-1.0 -lcairo -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 -lintl

Hope that helps..
