[XeTeX] libkpathsea not found when compiling xdvipdfmx on OS X (Intel)

[Bruno Voisin]

I've just attempted to compile xetex and xdvipdfmx from source on my  
brand new MacPro (hence Intel). The sources come from the tarballs at:

http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xetex/TRUNK.tar.gz?view=tar
http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xdvipdfmx/TRUNK.tar.gz?view=tar

With XeTeX, all goes well. With xdvipdfmx, I get:

configure: error: kpathsea library not found
This version of dvipdfmx requires the kpathsea library and its  
headers. If
you know where it is you might try setting the LDFLAGS environment  
variable
with -L pointing to the directory containing libkpathsea.a.

However, libkpathsea is indeed installed:

theo8mc233:~/Desktop/TRUNK-xdvipdfmx bvoisin$ ls -l /usr/local/teTeX/lib
total 1208
-rw-r--r--   1 root  admin  611240 Apr 25 09:14 libkpathsea.a
-rw-r--r--   1 root  admin     695 Apr 26 07:56 libkpathsea.la

I remember vaguely having read something about this on the list, but  
I can't find it right now.

Is this an actual unfixed issue, or did I miss something obvious? I  
don't think I really need a bleeding edge xdvipdfmx anyway (I  
generally stick to the default xdv2pdf), I was just willing to keep  
the xetex and xdvipdfmx versions on par. (And I prefer to have an up- 
to-date XeTeX, because of the numerous fixes Jonathan issues between  
binary releases.)

I don't think that matters here, but my PATH settings are:

theo8mc233:~/Desktop/TRUNK-xdvipdfmx bvoisin$ echo $PATH
/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/teTeX/bin/ 
i386-apple-darwin-current
