[postgis-users] undefined symbol GEOSPreparedCovers on Ubuntu 9.04

[Mike Leahy]

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the tip.  I had actually copied the source from another machine 
that I had compiled on (with a newer geos), and 'make clean' didn't do its job 
for some reason.  A fresh source solved it...thanks.

Mike

(sorry for the off-list reply Paul)
