Your answer is there, "libgeos_c.so.1: cannot open shared object file"
for some reason your postgis can't find your libgeos. The usual reason is that it got installed in /usr/local/lib, but the linker doesn't know about /usr/local/lib. This can be fixed by adding /usr/local/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and running /sbin/ldconfig P.
