It is normal that ./configure doesn't find some header files, so it
doesn't mean there is an error.

The purpose of ./configure is to find various info about the OS and
then conditionally define the corresponding tags (later used by the
source code), so all the messages/warnings printed by ./configure
indicate what was/wasn't found about the system.

If there was any compilation error (after you execute "gmake"),
please include that error.
