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!
