If you have a new version of PCB (one which that has been converted from
M4 into pcb-newlib for you, try
under /usr/share/pcb/pcblib-newlib/geda/HEADER26_2.fp

On my box that is ~pcjc2/geda/share/... as I install a development
version locally to my home dir.

Another possible search path is under /usr/local/share/...
