Hallo,

As I read, you are trying to build PostGIS against a Proj.4 which is
compiled and linked, but not installed. This might be possible, but the
configure process of PostGIS expects a strucure of Proj.4 which is
created by installing it. The error message you encounter is due to the
fact that there is no include/project.h under the proj-libdir you
specified.

I suggest to install Proj.4 with an appropriate --prefix= setting 
and reference this with when configuring PostGIS with
./configure --with-proj= .....

Btw. it shouldn't be necessary to edit Makefile.config.in with PostGIS
1.1.x and higher.

Hope this helps,

        Frank Koormann
