Interesting.
>From Steffen's suggestion I tried:
SELECT intersection('POINT(1 1)', 'POINT(1 1)');
and PostgreSQL/PostGIS returned:
SRID=-1;POINT(1 1)
Well, unless a PostGIS programmer says otherwise, or I'm given a Geos
specific query that fails, I will almost definitely say that I have a
working Geos 1.0 install (with PostGIS). My PostgreSQL 7.3X was
installed fresh with my Linux operating system install (with no link to
lstdc++). So, there is a way to get around having to re-install
PostgreSQL from source.
I have also used other Geos functions such as boundry() buffer()
isvalid() and issimple() with success.
Thank you Steffen for your query.
