No idea, i'm not familiar with autotools stuff.

You should be able to determine all valid options by running `./configure
--help`. Also, some options may trigger search for certain includes or libs.
On FreeBSD they are located in /usr/local/{include,lib}, while configure
searches only /usr/{include,lib} by default. This can cause some features to
be turned off.

If you really wish, you can do `gmake install` with root privileges. But
please note, that since you are installing this software from source and not
from ports, it may be hard to remove it in future. You can only rely on
`gmake deinstall` or something like that.
