By installing corresponding development packages. Almost all checks in
that configure check do check for a presence of development parts of the
packages, not just binary libraries. Please follow instructions as
provided in the other response.

Perhaps an easier way would be to install 'yum-utils' if they are
missing and do

# yum-builddep samba

That implies you have source repositories available (they'll be
automatically enabled for this specific operation) and it would pull
a list of packages required by the source package.
