Attempting to compile Pan 0.150 on Ubuntu 18.04.6 LTS using:

#+begin_src shell
./autogen.sh && make
#+end_src

I get:
<clip>
checking for GLIB - version >= 2.17.6... yes (version 2.56.4)
checking for GMIME... no
configure: error: Package requirements (gmime-3.0 >= 3.0.0) were not met:

No package 'gmime-3.0' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GMIME_CFLAGS
and GMIME_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

Searching for gmime-3.0 with synaptic package manager I find installed:

gir1.2-gmime-3.0
MIME message parser and creator library - GObject introspection data
Version 3.2.0-1

So it seems that Ubuntu installed gmime-3.0 with the non-standard
prefix 'gir1.2-' and I need to change an environment variable somewhere?

Any hint appreciated.
