[postgis-users] Problems installing PostGIS on Red Hat EL 5

[Paul Ramsey]

Regina,

If you build against GEOS-3.1 (svn) you'll find that st_contains has a
three-parameter form which we are arguing about right now that
provides "prepared geometry" speed enhancements. I don't recommend
doing anything except testing on that, since the API is Not Decided On
yet.

The bugs I am talking about on -devel are regarding a test patch
currently uncommitted to the repository.
