It's telling you exactly what the problem is and what to do about it.

What you'd probably need here is
--with-geosconfig=/usr/local/geos-3.2.0/tools
or else persuade geos to install itself in a more standard place.

But I concur with the suggestions to install RPMs built by someone else,
instead.  In a Red Hat system it's just a lot easier to manage software
that's packaged that way than to deal with "loose" software.  If you
really feel a need to do it yourself, why don't you download Devrim's
SRPMs and build RPMs from those?  You could study the spec files to see
what you missed while trying to do it by hand.
