Sorry for this beginners mistake and the extra work to check for you. I tried to give this package another shot but stumbled way earlier about a FTBFS problem. I created a fresh wheezy chroot and tried $ debuild ... dh build dh_testdir debian/rules override_dh_auto_configure make[1]: Entering directory `/home/tillea/debian-maintain/repack/spatialite/spatialite-3.0.0~beta20110817' dh_auto_configure -Dlibspatialite -- \ --enable-geos \ --enable-proj \ \ --disable-geosadvanced checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c ... checking geos_c.h usability... yes checking geos_c.h presence... yes checking for geos_c.h... yes checking for library containing GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify... no configure: error: 'libgeos_c' is required but it doesn't seems to be installed on this system. dh_auto_configure: ./configure --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --includedir=${prefix}/include --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --infodir=${prefix}/share/info --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libexecdir=${prefix}/lib/spatialite --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-geos --enable-proj --disable-geosadvanced returned exit code 1 make[1]: *** [override_dh_auto_configure] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tillea/debian-maintain/repack/spatialite/spatialite-3.0.0~beta20110817' make: *** [build] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2 So it seems that libgeos-dev is somehow broken but when I try $ strings /usr/lib/libgeos_c.a | grep GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify_r GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify_r GEOSTopologyPreserveSimplify_r it seems that the symbol that is missed by the configure script is available in the library in question. Before I might create more noise and because I know there are frequent auto-build tests and so the problem should have been detected earlier: Am I missing something or should I file another bug report against src:spatialite ? Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de _______________________________________________ Pkg-grass-devel mailing list Pkg-grass-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-grass-devel
