The problem is with the values you have set for CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS
environment variables.  If you have installed libraries in /usr/local,
then you should use something like

  CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib ./configure 
--prefix=/usr/local

instead of setting CPPFLAGS=/usr/local/include and LDFLAG=/usr/local/lib.
