[geos-devel] Gitea 3.10.0dev cmake broken

[Roger Bivand]

Symlinks not needed, just adding /usr/local/lib64 so that ldconfig found 
the *.so in /usr/local/lib64, which nothing else had used before. The 
question however remains, was installing to lib64 a specific choice and 
why do neither geos.pc nor geos-config advertise it?
