Cygwin - configure: error: Required header <rpc/types.h> not found

Hello,

I received a SUNRPC error after running ./configure on version 5.4.2220 in Cygwin (CYGWIN_NT-6.3-WOW64 gery 1.7.32(0.274/5/3) 2014-08-13 23:03 i686 Cygwin), here it is:

    configure: error: Required header <rpc/types.h> not found, check include path and intsalled devel packages

SUNRPC (as well as libtirpc) is located in my Cygwin system:

    Gery@gery /opt/mb/mbsystem-5.4.2220
    $ cygcheck -c | grep rpc
    libgssrpc4                                   1.12.2-1                         OK
    libtirpc-common                              0.2.4-1                          OK
    libtirpc-debuginfo                           0.2.4-1                          OK
    libtirpc-devel                               0.2.4-1                          OK
    libtirpc1                                    0.2.4-1                          OK
    php-xmlrpc                                   5.5.18-1                         OK
    rpcgen                                       2.11.90_20100818-1               OK
    sunrpc                                       4.0-4                            OK

Any idea to solve this configure error? I mean, a solution that doesn't involve upgrading cygwin to the latest version, I just don't want to reinstall everything again.

Any support is welcomed, thanks in advance,

Gery
