Did you also say --with-gnome-includes=/usr/include ?
I would guess your configure line would need to be

./configure --prefix=<wherever you're putting it> 
--with-gnome-libs=/usr/lib --with-gnome-includes=/usr/include

If that is indeed where the include files are. Also a good idea as was 
suggested by someone else to check config.log and see what's going 
wrong. I believe configure will try to execute gnome-config to get the 
appropriate parameters, so make sure that's in your path as well.
