[postgis-users] Postgis 1.1.2 installation problems on Redhat 9

[Johan V]

I installed postgresql 8.0.6-1PGDG (i686), geos-1.0-2 (i386) and proj
4.4.7-1 (i386) with rpm packages. Now i want to install postgis 1.1.2
with the default configure, make and make install instruction put i
get some errors, this is the output i get (sorry for the dutch words):

Like you see, I even put the postgis directory in the contrib
directory of the postgresql source. As far as I can understand this
error is that the "make" instruction can't find the .h files of geos,
but how do i point the make to the correct directory of those header
files. I tried it with "--with-geos-src" but that wasn't it.

Thx on advance,
Johan.
