First and foremost, read the installation guide if you haven't already:

You probably want to install fontconfig, freetype, and xft as well...
although they may be on the system already. Try with
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig before doing
anything drastic.

This error says "pkg-config is working fine, but the linker isn't"; so
you can either set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or add /usr/local/lib to
/etc/ld.so.conf (and run ldconfig). I forget which way is recommended.

Instead of "forever", it's also possible to set it for one command:
prompt$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./configure
Or for every command until exiting the shell:
prompt$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib
