Mapserver 5.0.0 installation fails at GEOS

[Steve Lime]

This is GEOS 3.0? I believe there were some earlier versions that were missing those
functions in the C API.

Hello,

Am trying to install Mapserver 5.0.0 on a machine running SUSE Linux
10.1.

The failure of the installation seems to be associated with GEOS:

/include     -I/usr/local/gdal/include -I/usr/local/pgsql/include
-I/usr/local/geos/include     shp2img.o  -L. -lmapserver

I had previously installed GEOS 3.0.0 with the following argument to
configure:

--with-geos=/usr/local/geos/bin/geos-config

I would appreciate any insight. Thanks, Bill
