PKG_CONFIG_PATH leads to /opt/gnome?

This is a x86 SuSE Linux 9.0 with KDE 3.4.1 as Windowmanager

I compiled gtk+ 2.6.7 and found out that the environment PKG_CONFIG_PATH leads 
to /opt/gnome/lib/pkgconfig which makes pkg-config not working for some 
packages (freetype2,...) because the valid path for them 
is /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/. Why would this path lead to gnome? What is the 
recommend path for this on a SuSE9? Do all packages install to 
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ ?
Is it safe to make PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/ permanent.

/usr/bin/pkg-config --cflags freetype2
Package freetype2 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `freetype2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'freetype2' found
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
/usr/bin/pkg-config --cflags freetype2
-I/usr/local/include/freetype2
