You can try the following before configure:

 export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include
 export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/local/include
 export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

See the following for details:

 http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_23.html

If that doesn't work, you can try adding the directories on
the configure line itself:

 ./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -g -I/usr/local/include" \
        CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g -I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"

I haven't tested either option, so no promises.
