Yes, the default assumption in the GNU configure toolchain, to my
feeble understanding, is that such locations are specified in the
user's environment before running configure.  Perhaps we need a readme
to this effect.  PATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH, LIBRARY_PATH, and
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and possibly GCC_EXEC_PREFIX are the important ones.

Take care,
