Is there a libkpathsea.a library in /usr/local/teTeX/lib, and a  
kpathsea subdirectory in /usr/local/teTeX/include? If so, try running  
the configure script using:

	LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/teTeX/lib CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/teTeX/include ./ 
configure

Or alternatively, you can put symlinks in a standard system place  
such as /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include that point to the  
library and header directory, so that configure finds them.

If gwTeX doesn't install the library and headers (I'm not 100% sure),  
then you'll need to build and install libkpathsea from source; one  
way to do this would be to "make install" within the TeX/texk/ 
kpathsea subdirectory of the XeTeX source tree.
