[geos-devel] testrunner fail

[Gilles Bassière]

Hi list,

I can't find a geos-users mailing list or any similar. If this message has nothing to do here, please redirect me. I tried to post on postgis-users but didn't get any answer.

A fatal error in PostGIS led me to investigate about my GEOS install. It seems broken but I can't find out why. Indeed, when I run a 'make check' in the build tree, I get:

[...]

I'm stuck now... How should I fix this ?

My config is:
- GEOS 3.0.0rc4
- Ubuntu Feisty (7.04)
- Proc AMD64 (though I use the i386 distro)

Geos is compiled with "--enable-python" and "--disable-inline" options, I also set a custom "--prefix". Python bindings are not so important to me, I could disable it if required but the inlining seems to be incompatible with QGIS.

Regards,
