Ari,

Thank you for the response.

Correct, I had not run "make install" on GEOS. Since I am building GDAL without installing, I wanted to build GEOS the same. This evidently results in GDAL not finding GEOS. Running "make install" on GEOS, prior to building GDAL, correctly identifies GEOS support (confirmed GDAL configure output).

I am running into a second issue and not sure if anyone on the list has ever attempted this. I am static linking libgdal.a to my app (no problem here) and am having difficulty static linking libgeos_c.a and libgeos.a. I've tried copying the .a files to the working dir and have also tried using those in /usr/local/lib (put there by make install). Still get unresolved references.

I am assuming it is possible since static libraries for GEOS are created. Do you know of any problems static linking?

Once again thanks!

- Kelly

Hello

I am trying to build GDAL with GEOS support on RHEL 6 (64-bit) and am getting nowhere fast!

I've been using the OGR api from gdal-1.11.1 for over a year with excellent results and now need to use the geometry methods that are only available with the inclusion of GEOS (else the message ERROR 6: GEOS support not enabled").

I've built geos-3.1.0 and the set the GDAL configure option "--with-geos" to point to "geos-config". Initially this did not work as gdal configure was attempting to execute "geos-config" which did not have execute permission (doing a chmod 777 on "geos-config" resolved this).

GDAL builds fine and appears to partially recognize GEOS availability but cannot confirm "GEOSversion" in geos_c. The following two lines are output from gdal configure;

        checking for GEOS version >= 3.1.0... yes
        checking for GEOSversion in -lgeos_c... no

At this point it looked like a search issue so I've updated the PATH and LIBRARY_PATH env vars to point to the geos "capri" directory containing "libgeos_c.la". Still no luck. Have tried copying libgeos_c.la to the gdal folder and /usr/local/lib but still no luck.

Going through the list I see where others have run across similar but not the same problem.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Kelly,

I've never come across problems like this with GEOS and GDAL. If GEOS is in usual place (/usr/local/lib for example) GDAL configure picks it up by default.

It sounds a bit like you did not install GEOS. Did you issue "make install" after building GEOS?

Ari


Thanks,

Kelly
