Hmmm.... is this part of a thread following on my earlier email asking for
help?

If so, this message from Paul is the first reponse I've seen, & have no idea
where any others have gone.

I read from this that the problem is possibly an old version of GEOS, so I'll
remove the installed one & compile up the new one.

Sigh. One of my reasons for looking at a debian based distro was package
managent & DebianGIS, but for a 64 bit user of recent versions, it seems I'm no
better off.


Thanks,
