Hello,

You have installed p11-kit into a set of directories which
* are not scanned by pkgconf by default (/usr/gnutls/lib/pkgconfig/),
* whose header subdir are not in the preprocessor's default search path
  (/usr/gnutls/include) and
* whose lib subdir is neither in the compiler/linker's search-path
* nor in the runtime dynamic linker's search-path (/usr/gnutls/lib/)

One can do strange stuff like this but it is completely unrelated to
gnutls how to deal with this. (e.g. static linking, rpath, modifying the
pc file, symlink farm, ...) =
