Installed nspr but can't find headers (for gaim-encryption)


Hi!
I'm trying to install the gaim-encryption plugin for gaim, but it requires nss and nspr, which i'm not getting tu install properly!
First of all, i ran gaim-encryption configure and it said that it couldn't find nss and nspr (of course).
So i downloaded both of them, nspr-4.6.2 and nss-3.11.1 (sources, and by the way, i'm on a slackware machine). I first tried to install nspr. "./configure --help" said its default installation dir is /usr/local. I ran configure, make and make install and it gave me no problems. Ok. I went back to gaim encryption and its ./configure still couldn't find nspr:
Code:
checking for Mozilla nspr4 includes... no
configure: error: You need to specify --with-nspr-includes="dir"
                     (where "dir" is the location of the NSPR headers like prio.h)
Actually, even "find / | grep prio.h" couldn't find anything (except the files in the source directory). The problem is i can't find installation documentation, so i don't know if i have to run make on other targets than "install".
Moreover, if i enter nss dir there are many directories, and i don't know where to start for installing!!
Any help???
Thanks to everyone!
