I am not an expert but I guess a
find /usr -name 'xforms*' -print
will give an idea where the xforms library and the xforms.h header are.
(Since you have it installed it must be there somewhere). (/usr and below
is a good place to start looking).
Then do a ./configure --with-extra-library <PATH-TO-XFORM-LIBRARY> \
--with-extra-include=<PATH-TO-XFORM-HEADERFILE>
I suggest a ./configure --help will give you the correct switches
Good Luck
