Yes.  If you also install pkg-config into your $HOME,
that should fix it:

  http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/pkg-config-0.21.tar.gz

Yep, this is all a pain, but once it's set up, it just works.

Here's a script that should help:

    Usage: ./install-autotools [OPTION]...
    Download, build, and install some tools.

    Options:
     --prefix=PREFIX    install tools under specified directory
     --skip-check       do not run make check (this can save 50+ min)
     --help             display this help and exit

    For example, to install programs into $HOME/autotools/bin, run this command:

      install-autotools --prefix=$HOME/autotools

    If you've already verified that your system/environment can build working
    versions of these tools, you can make this script complete in just a
    minute or two (rather than about an hour if you let all make check
    tests run) by invoking it like this:

      install-autotools --prefix=$HOME/autotools --skip-check
