edit the file /home/user/.bash_profile and add the following line:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$PKG_CONFIG_PATH:/home/user/mono/lib/pkgconfig

In my case, I installed mono on /home/user/mono/install; so my
PKG_CONFIG_PATH have inside /home/user/mono/install/lib/pkgconfig. That
variable serves to the pkg-config program, for indicating where to look
for .pc files.

Are the .pc file directly in /home/user/mono or inside
/home/user/mono/lib/pkgconfig ? It's a bit confusing, it seems like you
don't have a good mono installation.

Welcome! Get a good book before messing too much around things.
