I have installed it in /usr/local, the default location.

Configure actually finds it, but it still complains about types conflicts.

In my case the header file was found, but it had types conflicts.
Here is an excerpt from config.log:

I am curious why previous mifluz-merge versions compiled, although
identical message was in their config.log files.  Any ideas?
