Nathan,

The "(cached) no" can result from doing a configure with an old
config.cache around.  I would suggest removing it and seeing if the
problem still remains.

If that still fails, delete config.status again and configure with
"--with-proj=/usr/local" and see if that works.  If not, verify that
you have an installed /usr/local/include/projects.h, and
/usr/local/lib/libproj.a.

Best regards,
