Comment:

 PostGIS 2.2. does not require 3.5.  You had to upgrade because your
 PostGIS was compiled with GEOS 3.5 it exposed features only available for
 GEOS 3.5, but you had in your system path GEOS 3.4.

 If your PostGIS was compiled with GEOS 3.4, your GEOS 3.4 system install
 would have worked fine, though you'd be missing ST_ClipBox and
 ST_SubDivide functionality. If you got this from a package, then I would
 think the packaging would force an upgrade to newer GEOS it requires.
