Octave does not look for header files in /usr/local/include.  Neither
does configure, at least not directly.  The configure script runs the
C compiler to check for header files and libraries.  Header files and
libraries will be found in the directories the compiler searches.
That may or may not include /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib by
default.  You may need to add extra directories to CPPFLAGS and
LDFLAGS, preferably by doing something like

  configure CPPFLAGS="-I/some/include/dir" LDFLAGS="-L/some/lib/dir"
