The error message tells you exactly what you need to do. :-)

Suppose you installed libmrproject under $HOME/foo. It will have
installed a libmrproject.pc file in $HOME/foo/lib/pkgconfig, so you need
to set the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to
$HOME/foo/lib/pkgconfig before running configure. The libmrproject.pc
file contains all the information that is needed to correctly build and
link against that version of libmrproject.
