Hi guys,

OK, I just downloaded and installed PostgreSQL 8.0 RC5 but didn't install
the version of PostGIS that came with it - instead I used the latest
installer from http://www.webbased.co.uk/mca/ (PostGIS 0.9.0-ish, GEOS
2.0.1, PROJ 4.4.8):


dcmms=# select geosnoop('POLYGON((0 0, 1 1, 0 0))');
NOTICE:  IllegalArgumentException: Number of points must be 0 or >3
ERROR:  Couldnt convert the postgis geometry to GEOS!
dcmms=#

So looks ok here.... Perhaps I missed some detail in the compilation
somewhere? Can anyone else recreate this?


Kind regards,

Mark.
