[postgis-users] Re:geos install problem

[James S reid]

hi! Im trying to build postgis 0.8.1 and geos1.0 (against postgres 7.4.1)- I
can acehive this succesfully if i omit support for geos but if i set the
flag to 2 and point to my geos install directory the make fails.

I havent seen anything on the list that looks like an answer - help!!!

below is a tail of the compilation errors and exit codes:
