I am somewhat puzzeled that "make install" did not put the headers in the correct place, but give the above manipulation a chance, and we will figure out the rest when there is no hurry. By the way, your very first effort with BLUEZ_LIBS essentially only lacked a second necessary variable: BLUEZ_LDFLAGS=3D"-I/usr/local/include" BLUEZ_LIBS=3D"-L/usr/local/lib -lbluetooth" but it is safer to use "--with-bluez=3D/usr/local" Good luck this time!
