Using a subject line that reflects the main content of your message
will help you to get reaction sooner. 

Now about your questions:

In your ~/.bash_profile you should see something like this:

--------------------------------
# set PATH so it includes user's private bin if it exists

if [ -d ~/bin ] ; then
    PATH="~/bin:${PATH}"
fi
--------------------------

This does the following:  If the user has a "~/bin" directory, add it
to the path.  

To add PKG_CONFIG_PATH you can do the same e.g.

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/whateverdirectory
PATH="$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:$PATH" 
or
PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}:${PATH}" 

Regards.
