You don't have to move the file. What's probably happening is that your
glibmm2.4.pc was installed into /usr/local (did you install glibmm from
source?), but pkgconfig isn't automatically set up to look in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig or wherever the file is.

Fortunately, all you have to do is change the environment variable
PKG_CONFIG_PATH. My ~/.bashrc has:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig

And everything works. Good luck!
