[postgis-users] Polygon and north pole

[Jørn Vegard Røsnes]

Hi,

is it possible to insert polygons into PostGIS where the polygon "cross" the 
north pole?

Example:

select isvalid('POLYGON((152.991022 78.938867,79.710092 68.321799,-50.514656 
62.226884,-9.980464 56.376708, 152.991022 78.938867))');
ERROR:  isvalid:: operation not implemented - compile PostGIS with JTS or GEOS 
support

Will it help to compile PostGIS with GEOS/JTS support?

cheers
