Are the popt development files present on your system,
in particular popt.h? In /usr/local/include ?

If they are there, then try looking in config.log, but I suspect
that the problem is that configure isn't looking
into /usr/local/lib or /usr/local/include. If so, I wonder
if the following would help:

export CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib"
make
