Re: LinearRing creation causing WindowsError

The solution I found is as follows:

I updated to the latest OSGeo4W (which still uses GEOS 3.2.2 as far as
I can tell), added OSGeo4W to my PATH var and LinearRing is working
fine.

I had been using a work-around configuration referencing (in my PATH
var) the GEOS binaries included with a Postgres 9.0 install (also
3.2.2, but from Sept of 2010 while the OSGeo4W GEOS 3.2.2 is from Dec
of 2010...seems weird, but that's what I'm seeing).
This configuration worked fine until my Django upgrade this morning
when LinearRing stopped working (see original email for error
details).

So, in closing, I'm not really sure what's going on here, but
LinearRing is working for me once again.
