$ pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig

So it seems /usr/local is already in the pkg-config ... trying your
suggeston anyway:

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
$ ./waf configure && ./waf build
Setting top to                           : /home/harold/src/geany-plugins
Setting out to                           :
/home/harold/src/geany-plugins/_build_
Checking for waf version in 1.6.1-1.7.0  : ok
Checking for 'gcc' (c compiler)          : ok

I built geany-plugins many times before without any problems (with the
build process ;))
