newbie: trouble building mapserver

[Paul Hussein]

Yes you are right. My issue was I had geos 2.2.1 rpm installed and as
the link path has /usr/lib first ( when I think it should have
-l/path/to/geos ) it tried to compile against 2.2.3 and link against
2.2.1. So both an issue with me and the Makefile. Can I suggest this
is changed in the link line.


Thanks

Paul.
