There should be a file config.log in the package directory containing
all the details from configure's attempt.  The last 20 or so lines of
the file will show what went wrong.  If you can't figure it out
yourself then post the last 20-30 lines of config.log to the mailing
list.

In my experience this is usually caused by bad CFLAGS/CPPFLAGS/LIBS
passed into configure.  (Which happens fairly often in my environment
because I build on Solaris and link against the BIND 8 resolver, which
requires some fairly ugly hackery to get configure to recognize it.)
