If you set CPPFLAGS for configure, you don't need to add the -I/dir
options to CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.

I would not expect that you would need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH for
configure to run successfully.

I would recommend against exporting variables like this in your
environment.  Instead, setting them on the configure command line is
all you should need to do.
