Okay. Let's look at the message:

Well when you do "slocate libcdio.pc", --"libcdio.pc" is mentioned in
message above -- do you get something?  ("slocate" is like "find /
-name libcdio.pc -ls". I have it in an RPM called "slocate")

Let's say /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libcdio.pc comes back. Then
following the suggestion in the message, add /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable. For example

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH

or perhaps: 

setenv PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH

If on the other hand libcdio.pc isn't found, then I doubt you've got
libcdio installed. Same for libcddb, libvcdinfo. 

By the way, libcdio-0.68 (not 0.67) is the latest libcdio. libcdio
0.69 should be coming out soon and it will have a couple of important
fixes. And although this is not relevant to you, it will finally have
OS X and FreeBSD support working well enough that vlc might
contemplate removing the non-libcido cdda and vcd modules.
