Unfortunately the output from configure only indicates that the test
fails. To discover the reason why, you need to examine the config.log
file. A successful test will look something like this:

configure:2176: checking for curses.h
configure:2184: gcc -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
configure:2176: checking for limits.h

A failed test should result in some error messages.

If you send me the relevant section of config.log, I may be able to
help.

FWIW, the most common reason for header tests failing (when the header
itself exists) is that the tested header includes some other header
which is missing.
