I just got the same error. Applying this patch solved my problem; but
I'm not sure whether this is the right fix or not:

        GEOS_MAJOR=`$GEOSCONFIG --version | cut -d. -f1`
        if test "$GEOS_MAJOR" = "@GEOS_VERSION@"; then

=========================

AFAICS the problem is the code introduced here:

2006-11-10 Sandro Santilli <strk at refractions.net>

        * configure.in (geos detection): use $geos_prefix/lib when
          --ldflags is not supported by geos-config available.

This patch results in:
=======
    GEOS: /usr/bin/geos-config (with C-API)
          (ldflags: )
=======

Any comment?
