We had similar problems building GNU R on a variety of machines (outside 
our control, i.e. no root access) that were using Brew and/or Macports 
for installing third party libraries, (and similar problems on some 
Linux systems actually). The way we solve it is to add  the location 
where the package manager installs headers to CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/CXXFLAGS 
and the library location to LDFLAGS. E,g for Macports:

PKG_INCLUDE_FLAGS_OVERRIDE=-I/opt/local/include
PKG_LDFLAGS_OVERRIDE=-L/opt/local/lib
./configure CFLAGS=$PKG_INCLUDE_FLAGS_OVERRIDE etc.
