[postgis-users] Upgrading to Geos 2.1.2 from 2.1.0

[Fenoy Gerald]

     Hi, sorry but there is something I don't understand. Indeed I  
just emerge the new geos-2.1.2 ebuild then all the old databases  
display :

  postgis_geos_version
  ----------------------
2.1.2
(1 row)

for the query "select postgis_geos_version();".
Furethermore I don't even upgrade or reinstall the postgis library  
after upgrading the geos one ...

You must note that, at the end of an ebuild installation there is  
always a call to the ldconfig command so you could maybe look on that  
way ...

Hope that help.

Cordialy.
