Unfortunately when using GCC 4.2, there is another bug that shows up in the unit tests:

http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/ticket/299

The only simple solution there is to use gcc-4.0/g++-4.0, BUT Lion Xcode does not includes this.  The other solution is to compile GEOS *and* whatever uses GEOS without optimization.

So we're stuck.

Theory of the Universe

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarrely inexplicable.  There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
