The easy solution is to remove config.cache. A lot of results from the
configure tests are stored here so it does not have to search for it again
the next time configure in run. It even stores bad results (such as
library or headerfile not found).

So you should install your new library and then remove config.cache (or
remove the line in config.cache that corresponds with the configure check
for that library) and run configure again.

Greetings,
Otto
