You didn't include enough info, but I'd be willing to bet the answer
lies about a line or two above what you did include.  Since it doesn't
see any of the theora-defined variables, it probably didn't find the
header file, because it's in a non-standard location.

Find the error message gcc/make reports about not finding a
".h" file, then pass that to configure with the option
"--with-extraincdir=DIR"

Doesn't seem odd to me.  Different system, different problems.
