Mapserver 5.0.0 installation fails at GEOS

[William Hudspeth]

Hello again,

I have downloaded Mapserver 5.0.1, and have tried compiling and making with
three different versions of GEOS. All give me more or less the same errors.

The configure arguments and versions (obtained from running geos-config
--version) for my various attempts include:

--with-geos=/usr/local/geos/bin/geos-config                  3.0.0
--with-geos=/usr/local/geos2_2_3/bin/geos-config        2.2.3
--with-geos=/usr/local/geos3_rc3/bin/geos-config          3.0.0rc3

The errors common to all installation attempts are:
