Requested 'libmuffin >= 3.0.0' but version of libmuffin is 2.8.4

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

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

A:

$ pkg-config --exists --print-errors libmuffin 3.0.5
Package 3.0.5 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `3.0.5.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package '3.0.5' found

$ pkg-config  --print-errors --exists  "libmuffin >= 3.0.5"
Requested 'libmuffin >= 3.0.5' but version of libmuffin is 2.8.4

$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig
$ pkg-config  --print-errors --exists  "libmuffin >= 3.0.5"
