There's a thread ("running pan gives many errors") from back in May, 
shortly after the the changes (before the 0.159 release including them I 
believe, so it was the live-git build affected at that point), where DD 
says:

In that case it was an uninstalled run from the wrong dir, and running 
from the correct dir so pan could find its icons in the relative 
./pan/icons path was the confirmed fix.

Here (on gentoo, with a live-git ebuild adopted from the release ebuild in 
the guru overlay) the installation is to /usr/ so the icons are installed 
and found in /usr/share/pan/icons, but as DD mentions and as the debug 
above suggests, if you haven't set the cmake prefix it'll default to 
/usr/local/ so the icons should be under /usr/local/share/pan/icons/ .
