[geos-devel] Problem with building 3.0.0rc

The release version 
(http://geos.refractions.net/downloads/geos-3.0.0.tar.bz2) seems to work 
OK for me w/o the python SWIG bindings.  My system is 64bit RHEL 5.

By the way what is the status of the python bindings at 3.0?  I couldn't 
get them to compile and recall that they were not actively maintained. 
Can someone confirm?

Thanks!
