Hi Dominic, are you using Ubuntu, and did you use the 
ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh script to install the dependencies?  I ask because I 
had exactly the same issue at first, and realized that it was because the 
commands in this 
<https://bitbucket.org/arches/arches3/raw/b295633aec4d5b3bb7cba10d439a43648ce75701/arches/install/ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh>
 ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh 
script (the one linked in the documentation) that install geos and create 
the postgis extension do not start with sudo, so they failed.  I added sudo 
to that script and ran it and then everything installed correctly.  Here's 
<http://www.adamcfcox.com/ubuntu_trusty_setup.sh> a link to the edited 
script in case you're interested.
