GeoDjango v1.4 might have deployed with a buggy version of libgeos. If it did, you won't be able to get past the above step without doing the following:

$ sudo nano ../python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/gis/geos/libgeos.py
Change this:
$ version_regex = re.compile(r'^(?P<version>(?P<major>\d+)\.(?P<minor>\d+)\.(?P<subminor>\d+))((rc(?P<release_candidate>\d+))|dev)?-CAPI-(?P<capi_version>\d+\.\d+\.\d+)$')
To this:
$ version_regex = re.compile(r'^(?P<version>(?P<major>\d+)\.(?P<minor>\d+)\.(?P<subminor>\d+))((rc(?P<release_candidate>\d+))|dev)?-CAPI-(?P<capi_version>\d+\.\d+\.\d+).*$')
