Hi, Just to inform you that the requirement for GEOS support has jumped from GEOS 2.2.0 to GEOS 3.1.0 (GEOS still being an optional, but recommanded, dependency).
Why ? - Up to now, we used the global GEOS error and warning handler functions, which caused problems when mixing GDAL with other software using GEOS itself. For a recent example of such a problem : https://github.com/mapserver/mapserver/issues/4733 - Using the "new" GEOSXXXXX_r functions enable us to drop a global mutex in OGRGeometry::exportToGEOS(), which is always good. I don't anticipate it will be an annoyance to anybody. GEOS 3.1.0 was released in March 2009, so people running a cutting-edge GDAL trunk should also have GEOS >= 3.1.0. I've also verified that the old-stable Ubuntu (Lucid 10.04) and Debian (squeeze) ship at least with GEOS 3.1.0, so that should be safe.
