[postgis-users] Re: ver 1.1.5 configure fails on Ubuntu

[Steven Johnson]

strk,
Thanks for your response to my ./configure woes. I tried your suggestion and
these are the results:
test !-f "/usr/bin/geos-config" yields
test flex --version "/usr/bin/geos-config"
bash: test: --version: binary operator expected

But if I locate geos-config it turns up in /usr/bin/

So, if I ./configure once again, I get to the "checking for geos-config"
section and I get
.
.
.
checking for geos-config... /usr/bin/geos-config
Usage: geos-config [OPTIONS]
Options:
     [--prefix]
     [--version]
     [--libs]
     [--cflags]
     [--includes]
     [--jtsport]

Is it looking for /usr/lib/libgeos.so.2.1.4? Or...?

Thanks again,
Steven

Look at configure.in:

                       if test ! -f "$with_geos"; then
       AC_MSG_ERROR([Invalid argument to --with-geos]);
                       else

Does the command:

       test ! -f "/usr/bin/geos-config"

return a failure or success on your system ?
