Tom,

Are you attempting to configure in GEOS support?  It looks like
you are but either don't have GEOS or have an incompatible
version. GDAL 1.3.1 requires at least GEOS 2.0 if you are
enabling that option.  If you don't care about GEOS, just
adding "--without-geos" to your configuration line.

Best regards,
