[postgis-users] newbie GEOS install problem

[Leif Isaksen]

Hello

I'm trying to install GEOS on Suse 10.0 (64-bit) having already installed PostGIS. I'm having the following problem - ./configure runs OK, but the make command doesn't generate a proper libgeos.so file under source/geom/.libs (or rather it's a link to libgeos.so.2.2.3 which doesn't exist) leading to the following output:

Making all in bigtest
make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/geos-2.2.3/source/bigtest'
/bin/sh ../..//libtool --mode=link --tag=CXX g++  -g -O2   -o TestSweepLineSpeed  TestSweepLineSpeed.o GeometryTestFactory.o ../..//source/geom/libgeos.la ../..//source/geom/libgeos.la
g++ -g -O2 -o .libs/TestSweepLineSpeed TestSweepLineSpeed.o GeometryTestFactory.o  ../..//source/geom/.libs/libgeos.so
g++: ../..//source/geom/.libs/libgeos.so: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** [TestSweepLineSpeed] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/geos-2.2.3/source/bigtest'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/geos-2.2.3/source'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
leifsvm:/usr/local/geos-2.2.3 #

Is this because I already have PostGIS installed (and indeed, is it possible to install GEOS post-PostGIS)? I've tried to hunt down an RPM, as suggested on another email on the geos-devel mailing list, but there isn't one for Suse and the Fedora Core version seems to be a complete postGIS/GEOS package. I'm a little reluctant to reinstall PostGIS as I already have data stored in it, but will do so if necessary. Any help or suggestions on this issue would be gratefully received.

Best regards

Leif
