What do you have in "/users/home/john/gnupdf/check/"? the checkout of
the libcheck repo? or the actual installation of it after compiling? In
order to use --with-libcheck-prefix you need the latter:

--with-libcheck-prefix[=DIR]  search for libcheck in DIR/include and
DIR/lib

the DIR you need to pass to the --with-libcheck-prefix option should be
equal to the --prefix you passed to the ./configure in libcheck, and of
course you need to make && make install libcheck before trying to
configure libgnupdf.

Anyway, what I personally do with libcheck is compile it and install it
in the default prefix (/usr/local):
  $> cd check; ./configure && make && sudo make install
And then probably no need to pass --with-libcheck-prefix to
the ./configure in libgnupdf, as /usr/local is a common prefix for
libraries, so usually found in ./configure without any additional magic.

Cheers!
