Why can't we use this in linux/configure.ac ?

[linzhu-isoftstone]

You need to install gpac-devel before build.

[Cioraz]

Atleast from my understanding, I guess the reason is that every system may not have this by default. Like in the docs, some linux systems need to install gpac and build it externally for it to work. Also since gpac is not a standard header unlike the others.
