[Community] Shapely 1.0.10: undefined symbol: GEOSCoordSeq_getOrdinate

[Alessandro Amici]

I just updated to Shapely version 1.0.10 with easy_install on two Ubuntu
systems, compile is fine, but I get the following error at runtime:

AttributeError: /usr/lib/libgeos_c.so.1: undefined symbol:
GEOSCoordSeq_getOrdinate

GEOS is version 2:

ii  libgeos-c1                   2.2.3-4                      Geometry
engine for Geographic Information Systems - C Library

I worked around the problem downgrading to Shapely 1.0.7 (after seeing
Sean post about bad GEOS 2 compatibility for the 1.0.8 release).

I'd post it on trac, but there's no info on where and how to post bugs
in the wiki!

Keep up the good work,
Alessandro
