I don't think so.  Have you read the README for the program you're
trying to compile?  Did you look at the output from configure?  Probably
it said something wasn't found; what was it looking for that it didn't
find?

To give a good answer to your questions would require some kind of
mind-reading capabilities!  How is configure failing?

As Matthew explained, once you install the required development files to
build those programs, it should Just Work, without any need to tell
configure where they're installed.

If you're having such difficulty compiling these programs yourself, I'd
recommend just using the packages instead.  Any reason why the packages
won't work for you?

good times,
Vineet
