[postgis-users] newbie install problem with GEOS

Thanks Mark

I did what you say, removed and reextracted the postgis tar into my
postgres/contrib and ran the configure - getting the same results.

 - checking for geos-config... no
 - checking for proj... no

I copy my terminal session after the extraction - would you please cast an
eye over it and see if I am doing something stupid?

Many thanks
