[postgis-users] Install problem with PROJ directory

I have a problem similar to the OP. I installed PostgreSQL and Proj4 on my
Mac, and now I want to install PostGIS from source. However, when I run the
./configure command, I get this result:

...
checking proj_api.h usability... no
checking proj_api.h presence... no
checking for proj_api.h... no
configure: error: could not find proj_api.h - you may need to specify the
directory of a PROJ.4 installation using --with-projdir

I believe that postgres and proj were installed correctly because sample
psql and proj commands appear to work okay.

If I do "which proj", I get this result:
/usr/local/bin/proj

Also, a search for "proj_api.h" shows these results, minus the file in the
source directory:
/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Versions/4/Headers/proj_api.h
/opt/local/include/proj_api.h
/usr/local/include/proj_api.h

I have tried the following and still failed to configure:
./configure --with-projdir=/usr/local/bin
./configure
--with-projdir=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/Versions/4/Headers/
./configure --with-projdir=/opt/local/include/
./configure --with-projdir=/usr/local/include

My specs:

-MacBookPro OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2
-XCode version 6.3.2
-PostgreSQL version 9.3.5 , installed from source (I am using an older
version of Postgres because I need a version that's compatible with ArcGIS).
-Proj4 version 4.9.1 (the one at /usr/local/bin/proj is installed from
source, and the one at /opt/local is installed from MacPorts)

I am installing PostGIS from source, and not Homebrew, MacPorts, or
KyngChaos, because I need a version that will work with PostgreSQL 9.3.5.

What should I try next? 

Thanks for your help.

Steps I followed to install Proj4 from source:

mkdir proj4
cd proj4
curl -O http://download.osgeo.org/proj/proj-4.9.1.tar.gz
gunzip proj-4.9.1.tar.gz
tar xf proj-4.9.1.tar
cd proj-4.9.1
./configure
make
make check
make install
