I'm trying to build qsynth 0.4.3 from source. I know I need fluidsynth installed and I have done that. But running ./configure in qsynth errors out.

I've also tried
./configure --with-fluidsynth=/usr/local/lib64
./configure --with-fluidsynth=/usr/local/include/
but same result
I successfully compiled and installed fluidsynth from the master branch
