At the end, the configure script prints out whether or not it enabled

The configure script checks for the ALSA library include file
(alsa/asoundlib.h) and the ALSA library (libasound). If they are not 
installed on your system, then the configure script will disable ALSA
sound. Are these files installed on your system?

As best as I can tell everything should be working right.  I have
alsa-lib-devel installed, and have the files the following path: 
    /usr/lib/libasound.a
    /usr/lib/libasound.so.2.0.0
    /usr/lib/libasound.la
    /usr/lib/libasound.so
    /usr/lib/libasound.so.2
    /usr/include/alsa/asoundlib.h
    /usr/include/sys/asoundlib.h 

When I do my ./configure it also confirms that ALSA support will be
enabled.  However, when I run mythfrontend and put ALSA:spdif into the sound
output device, that's when I get the "Audio output device is set to an ALSA
device but ALSA support is not compiled in!" error.  Here is the output of
my ./configure:
