[postgis-users] strange compile problems

[Dylan Beaudette]

This morning i installed postgresql-8.1.3 and postgis-1.1.3 built against geos 
3.0.0 ... everything worked as expected. noticing that geos 3.0.0 broke some 
other packages, i have since removes it, and installed geos 2.3 in its place. 

re-compiling my stack of GIS software against geos 2.3 worked fine, except 
postgis. i am not getting a strange error which appears to be associated with 
a bad include DIR definition:

cd postgresql-8.1.3
./configure
make
sudo make install

cd contrib/postgis-1.1.3
./configure
make 

[...]

this did not happen this morning. 

here is the output from ./configure:

install of postgis...
