Rails RGeo::Geos.supported? False Can't get rgeo-shapefile working

Trying to make this example of uploading a shapefile work with my rails setup and, running from the console, i get returned with:

RGeo::Error::RGeoError: GEOS is not available, but is required for correct interpretation of polygons in shapefiles.

also

RGeo::Geos.supported? returns False

I'm running - ruby version 2.0.0p576 and rails version 4.2.0

The gems included are: gem 'activerecord-postgis-adapter', '3.0.0.beta2' gem 'rgeo-shapefile' gem 'dbf'

What am I doing wrong, where can I look to find out why GEOS isn't being found? Thanks!

Solution

  • Ok - it seems that the explicit inclusion of gem 'dbf' in the gemfile was breaking thinks. commented it out, rebundled, and we're up and running again...
