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.

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.
