my guess is that you are using '--with-*something*=yes' and configure
is now using 'yes' as a search directory for libraries (!!).

if you give us the complete configure command line you used we can
probably restore the correct behaviour, in the mean time just use 
'--with-*somethnig*' without '=yes'.
