No, IMO this is a generic bug in configure. It should check for libraries first, then headers. If the library needed to provide a requested feature is present, but not the headers, it should bitch. NB In INSTALL, somewhere near the top, you'll probably find a warning about the perverse behavior (from the free software point of view) of free software distributions which provide libraries for running software but not the headers needed to build software.
