What you have installed are the binary libraries/runtime (.so files). Which
are only used by pre-compiled software. To compile your own programs that use
them you need the devel package which contain the headers

For eg. 

librsvg2-2 - SAX-based renderer library for SVG files (runtime)
librsvg2-dev - SAX-based renderer library for SVG files (development)

So for each of the missing libraries mentioned in the output of ./configure
you'll need to install the corresponding -dev package. And their
dependencies.
