What shell are you using?  BASH, it appears?  On Mdk using BASH, look for the 
~/.bash_profile file (the leading dot means it will be hidden unless you list 
hidden files).  Put a line like

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<path to the dir containing GTKSpell-2>

in it.

You can add any env. variable this way.  The export makes the variable 
available to child processes.  Alternatively, you could add it to the system 
file under /etc/.profile (IIRC).
