[postgis-users] Warning GEOS is NOT enabled

[Marc Desharnais]

Hi Mark,

I did a make install. Maybe someone can tell me if I missed something to 
make GEOS work properly with Postgis.
But my Postgresql is not installed in a default directory. So maybe 
there is a problem with that.

What library should I check to be sure that it's well installed?
