How to get SQLite3 in pkg-config search path so that I can build Postler from source code?

Question

I am trying to build a Postler from a source. I forked it from bzr, and the first step in the installation process says to go to the postler folder and type “./waf configure”, which I did. After typing this, he starts a bunch of checks and decides that SQLite3 is not in the pkg-config search path. How to get it in the search path? I already installed it through sudo apt-get install sqlite3 . I am running Ubuntu 11.10.
