I realize this is not the GEOS email group, but 3.3.1 appears to be a prereq for running PostGIS 2.0? Ubuntu's most recent GEOS package is 3.2.2.<div><br></div><div>I can't get the builds to work. Below is a copy of the documentation bug report I filed with the GEOS developers. What can be suggested to them to get their instructions fixed? Or am I doing something wrong?<br>

Reporter: arencambre | Owner: mloskot<br>

Component: Documentation | Version: 3.3.1<br>
Severity: Unassigned | Keywords:<br>
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------<br>
Both the instructions for building GEOS on Unix are bad.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki/BuildingOnUnixWithAutotools" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki/BuildingOnUnixWithAutotools</a> references an<br>
autogen.sh file. However, this file is not in geos-3.3.1.tar.bz2, which<br>
was downloaded from <a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/</a>. All that's there is<br>
autogen.bat.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki/BuildingOnUnixWithCMake" target="_blank">http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki/BuildingOnUnixWithCMake</a> also does not work<br>
from 3.3.1.tar.bz2. The install always fails with:<br>
<br>
'''CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:161 (message):<br>
Detected compiler does not support std namespace on STL classes'''<br>
<br>
I have all requirements listed at the top of the page, verified through<br>
aptitude.<br>
<br>
This was all run on a fresh install Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit desktop version.<br>
