Frédéric,

GEOS 2.0.x or 2.1.x should work.

I can't say that I have tried it myself on Solaris, but there are some 
thread-lock-up issues in the POSIX logic that *might* affect Solaris. 
You ought to look through the ECW SDK Forums at ermapper.com and
look for patches by Bill.  Or, if you can wait, hold out for 3.2 final (or 3.3
I think they plan to call it). 

Good luck,
