[postgis-users] Curved Geometry not supported by postgis functions

[Ken Southerland]

We started using the new curved geometries in postgis and found that 
some of the functions don't support them.  I am using postgres 8.2 with 
postgis 1.3.1-1.

For instance, the intersects( geometry, geometry ) function gives the 
following error ...

Caused by: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: Exception in 
LWGEOM2GEOS: curved geometry not supported.

... and the length( geometry ) function returns zero for any geometry 
containing a curve.

Is this problem stemming from postgis or geos do you think?  We have 
made a big, out-on-a-limb leap in deciding to use these new curved 
geometries and converting customer data over to them and now we are 
running into these issues when running reports.  Help.  Por favor.

Ken
