You also need to tell the preprocessor where the include files are, and 
the linker where the libraries are:

  ./configure --prefix=$HOME/sw CPPFLAGS="-I$HOME/sw/include" \
      LDFLAGS="-L$HOME/sw/lib"

If you are using libtool to link, then don't mess with the 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH,
that is for finding libraries when a program starts up, not when it is 
being compiled.

HTH,
        Gary.
