[postgis-users] Makefile syntax problem with 1.2/8.2?

[Nick Bower]

Thanks Devrim.  In the end I had to compile lwgeom by hand, removing the 
offending gcc arg "/usr/lib", then re-ran the top-level Makefile.  
Thanks for so adeptly tracking down the source of the problem!

FYI, my geos is 2.2.1 so 12 months old and perhaps time to upgrade.  
Even if your fix isn't accepted, a note will need to be placed into the 
Postgis system requirements for a minimum supported level of geos deployed.
