[postgis-devel] GEOS 3.4.1 is out

[Kashif Rasul]

Ok i see the problem:  

the ruby.m4 macro should be:

RUBY_SO_NAME=`$RUBY -rrbconfig -e 'puts RbConfig::CONFIG[["RUBY_SO_NAME"]] || Config::CONFIG[["RUBY_SO_NAME"]]'`

since LIBRUBY_SO returns the full `libruby.so.1.8.7` name which then doesn't work with the `-llibruby.so.1.8.7`…

The reason i suspect this was not caught easier was because no one in the community uses these swig bindings anymore… most have migrated to the:

geos-ffi project: https://github.com/dark-panda/ffi-geos

My suggestion would be to not include the ruby bindings in the rpm.

best wishes,
kashif
