I've never tried building it by hand, but it works quite well for me.

It sounds to me like you ought to look into the reasons for your
configuration problems.  You should not need to add full pathnames
for the compiler to find your header files.  The configuration script
should be generating a CFLAGS (or the like) with the correct -I
switches for the compiler to find your header files.

This is so that it can play streaming MP3s.  (One particularly handy
feature of xmms is that you can save streaming MP3s to disk.)

Again, I think you need to revisit your configuration problems.
