Error with compute_EPICSiteData

Spatial Allocator
1

Hello,

I’m working with FEST-C version 1.4, installed on a linux machine with Spatial Allocator version 4.4. When running the crop site info generation step from the GUI, the process just stops (no output files written) with no indication of error. When I run the generateSiteInfo script from the command line (calls compute_EPICSiteData), it runs to completion, but

  1. in the screen output when running the script, I see
    Extracting polygon shapefile attributes for EPIC sites: /usr/lERROR 6: GEOS support not enabled.
    ERROR 6: GEOS support not enabled.
  2. both the EPICSite_Crop.csv and EPICSites_Info.csv files only have the header row.

--the error message looks like an issue with gdal/the GEOS library, so IT is looking into it and how they installed the Spatial Allocator. Am I correct in assuming the issue causing the GEOS support error message is the problem? Or is there anything else I should look into?

That’s correct, GEOS support needs to be enabled in GDAL at compilation. This is most likely the source of the problem.
