<P>
QGIS uses GEOS to properly fetch features from the database when doing an
identify or select. You can still view PostGIS layers without GEOS, but you
will not be able to create a selection or identify a feature.
<P>
If you choose to proceed without GEOS support, QGIS will warn you each time you load a layer from the database.
<P>
To install GEOS:
<OL>
<LI>Download GEOS source from <TT><A NAME="tex2html7"

</LI>
<LI>Untar GEOS
<PRE>
tar -xzf geos-1.0.0.tar.gz
</PRE>
</LI>
<LI>Change to the GEOS source dir
<PRE>
