Package: libgeos-3.3.3 Version: 3.3.3-1.1 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to compile matplotlib basemap (http://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib- toolkits/basemap-1.0.7/) which depends on libgeos. The compilation fails because matplotlib basemap tries to link against "libgeos.so" but in "/usr/lib" only "libgeos-3.3.3-so" is present. When manually creating a link ("sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgeos-3.3.3.so /usr/lib/libgeos.so"), the compilation/linking works without problems. I think during installation this link should be created. best, Tobias -- System Information: Debian Release: 7.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'precise'), (1, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.9-0.bpo.1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libgeos-3.3.3 depends on: ii libc6 2.13-38+deb7u1 ii libgcc1 1:4.7.2-5 ii libstdc++6 4.7.2-5 libgeos-3.3.3 recommends no packages. libgeos-3.3.3 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
