Sometimes (well, usually), when you run ./configure -- it builds up a
cache of what it found last time.  If, however, ./configure bombed out
with an error, which you then subsequently fixed, it's likely that the
answer from last time round is still cached.  Hence:

rm ./config.cache && ./configure --whatever --options

That may or maynot work, of course -- it depends on how the project was
built.  If you still get that error, then it is either that you don't have
the *devel package installed for the said library, or the error isn't with
the library at all.  In fact, sending us the "config.log" file would be of
help -- upload it to a webserver if you can.

Also, I'd be interesting in cross-referencing that file with the output
produced from:

./configure > ./configure.errlog 2>&1

i.e., the configure.errlog file that is produced.

If you send those two things, perhaps we can work out what's not working.
