You are missing the package config file, libcacard.pc, provided by libcacard-devel:

yum provides */libcacard.pc

Additionally, if you want to build from source, you need to enable pkg-config to find your libcacard.pc file, so if you installed in a non standard location, like /usr/local, then you would need to export an environment variable before running configure:
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig
