[postgis-users] geos 3.3.0 installing problem on Lion

[Paul Ramsey]

For whatever it's work (not much) the unit test failure seems to have
no reported knock-on effects in day-to-day use. So you can use the
GEOS code compiled with newer gcc without too much trepidation.
However, no luck in exterminating the test failure thus far.
