You need to set your PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to point to
the place where LIBGEDA lives.   Do this:

locate libgeda.so
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/place/where/you/found/libgeda.so:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}


("Locate" -- if it is installed on your machine -- will tell you where
libgeda.so lives.  If you have 
several of them in different places, either nuke the ones you don't
use or make sure that you place the one you want to use first on the
search path.)


HTH,
