[postgis-users] Building GEOS 3.3.1 on Ubuntu

[Aren Cambre]

I realize this is not the GEOS email group, but 3.3.1 appears to be a
prereq for running PostGIS 2.0? Ubuntu's most recent GEOS package is 3.2.2.

I can't get the builds to work. Below is a copy of the documentation bug
report I filed with the GEOS developers. What can be suggested to them to
get their instructions fixed? Or am I doing something wrong?

 Both the instructions for building GEOS on Unix are bad.

 http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki/BuildingOnUnixWithAutotools references an
 autogen.sh file. However, this file is not in geos-3.3.1.tar.bz2, which
 was downloaded from http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/. All that's there is
 autogen.bat.

 http://trac.osgeo.org/geos/wiki/BuildingOnUnixWithCMake also does not work
 from 3.3.1.tar.bz2. The install always fails with:

 '''CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:161 (message):
 Detected compiler does not support std namespace on STL classes'''

 I have all requirements listed at the top of the page, verified through
 aptitude.

 This was all run on a fresh install Ubuntu 11.10 32-bit desktop version.
