OK, I fixed this with:
declare -x PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/

Then the gforce plugin complained, it was looking for version 0.1.6, and 
the pkgconfig version was blank. So I fixed this by setting version to 
0.1.6 in libvisual.pc.

Now the plugin will not compile:

config.status: error: cannot find input file: GForceColorMaps/Makefile.in

Will try another plugin in case it is just this one which is broken.
