This looks like broken Makefiles.

I built gideon on FreeBSD lately, the trick is to use configure with 
"--with-extra-includes=DIR" and "--with-extra-libs=DIR" since FreeBSD 
installs the headers in different directories.

Check config.log, it will tell you what's missing, locate it, add the pathes 
and you should get a smooth build. (Please don't hack the configure script or 
the Makefiles themselves!).

A fix for the buildsystem to automatically add those pathes by default under 
FreeBSD would be highly welcome!

Best regards,
