It is unable to parse the string data you have passed.
Indeed you're using a comma between X and Y ordinate values of each point
in the MULTIPOINT geometry.

You need to add "VoronoiTest.cpp" to tests/unit/Makefile.am
then run ./autogen.sh from the top-level dir and ./configure again.
Then you build with:
  
  cd tests/unit
  make geos_unit

--strk;
