so what does config.log say?  that's where you'll find the actual
output from the tests, including stderr that might tell you about
missing files, compilation troubles, and indeed even show you the code
that configure is attempting to compile before throwing that error.
(i make the assumption that this test is a compilation test--most that
./configure does are, even just checking for include files is usually
done not by looking for the file on the filesystem but trying to use
it in via the compiler in some dummy code)

config.log will often include line numbers from the ./configure script
for your further edification.  that script is never fun to debug, but
you can often see what is going on in it and adjust the system (or the
./configure script) appropriately.

if you're going to include config.log here, don't send us the whole
file,  just the part where the last tests fail.  you can leave off the
last many lines too--we don't need to know all the values of the
variables and all that jazz, just what the script is running right
before it announces those failures (should include code, a command
line for compiling, and the output from that attempt).
