you can set the following:
	PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/local/lib/pkgconfig
	LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib
	export PKG_CONFIG_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

and then configure modules to install as such:
	./configure --prefix=$HOME/local

when compiling simple programs with stuff in $HOME/local, set the
following:
	CFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags cairo`
	LOADLIBES=`pkg-config --libs cairo`
before building.

there are much more elaborate setups, but the above should work for most
situations.
