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.
