[DebianGIS-dev] Bug#582474: libgeos-dev: please include *.la files in package

[alex bodnaru]

Package: libgeos-dev
Version: 3.2.0-1
Severity: important

i've just tried to build spatialite (a spatial extension to sqlite3), 
but it needs libgeos.la, which is unfortunately missing from libgeos-dev.

best regards,
alex
