If you install gimp-devel, then pkg-config should be happy.  The
gimp-devel package includes (among other needed things) the .pc files
needed for pkg-config to do it's thing.

Sometimes you may need to alter PKG_CONFIG_PATH if you've installed
something in /usr/local for example.  Most of the time if you're
seeing this error it means you've missing the proper -devel package.
