Yep.  The errors you reported were all in GEOS headers, so you'd either
need to compile without geos or with a more up-to-date geos.

Geos is a fairly simple package to build from source. Try downloading it from
http://geos.refractions.net

It has no external library dependencies, and so should not be a real pain
to build and install.

The version of geos I have is 2.2.3, and it did not have the kinds of
problems in the geom.h header that you reported (overqualified class
members).  So your RPM must be older than that.

Hmm. Well geos was at 2.2.1 so I downloaded and installed 2.2.3 from source, no problems. I have gdal-1.3.2 compiling now, we'll see how it goes this time through.

I sure hate package management tools and binary installs, this has been a complete PITA. Slack never gave me any problems, but then again I did everything from source. Doing my own package management is about a bazillion times easier!
