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

Hi Tobias,
Thanks for reporting the issue with the mathplotlib basemap upstream.
We follow the GEOS upstream advice to not link to the C++ API. There are
some applications which do, but they should be fixed to use the C API
instead.
I'm closing this bug.
Kind Regards,
Bas
