uäh !
which system are you using ?
header-files should go into /usr/include
and libraries to /usr/lib
i wouldn't recommend breaking this by hand (by installing libraries into 
/usr/include)
on debian-systems you should never ever install something by hand to 
places other than /usr/local/... (or your home-directory, of course)
other distros may have other (less strong) conventions, but i do not 
think, that anyone will install a library into /usr/include

well, the configure checks, whether the actual library-file 
libquicktime.so (or *.a, i don't know which)
supports a function "quicktime_open".
if not, i do not know how to open quicktime-files and therefore 
quicktime-support is supressed.

the quicktime library-file is searched in the standard-path (/usr/lib !) 
only. maybe you have to add your path to the /etc/ld.so.conf and 
rundldconfig first.

i heavily suggest using installation-packages (*.rpm, *.deb) for 
installing libraries.
if you cannot find a needed package for your favourite distro, try using
http://rpmfind.net/
