Try with quotes or the * will wildcard the current directory.

locate "*sigc++-2*"

>/usr/pkgs/libsigc++-2.2.9-i486-1_SBo.tgz
>root at a:/usr/pkgs# echo $PATH
>/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/kde4/libexec:/usr/lib/qt/bin

PATH is only for binaries not libraries.
The libs will be in /usr/lib so you can

ls /usr/lib/*sigc*

The headers will be in /usr/include:

ls /usr/include/sigc++-2.0/*/*

You may want to look at the mzbget Makefile or configure to see what's
up, unless someone here knows a fix firsthand.
