Comment (by dcalde):

 I had the same error, but was able to fix it. If I had installed on a new
 server, this would probably not have been a problem, but this server is
 already running pg 9.4 with postgis 2.1.

 I was merely running an old version of GEOS. A simple 'yum update geos'
 did the trick.
