Hi Dan,

Extracted from documentation 
(http://postgis.refractions.net/docs/ch02.html):

If you want to use GEOS functionality, you must have the GEOS library 
installed. If ./configure didn't find it, try using --with-geos=PATH to 
specify the full path to the geos-config program full path.

Hope this helps,
Eduardo
