Description

The documentation for installing GeoDjango includes a section on installing via MacPorts (​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/gis/install/#macports). This lists the commands needed to install the various GeoDjango requirements, including GEOS and GDAL.

After installing via this method, several GeoDjango tests report errors with "ERROR 6: GEOS support not enabled" messages:

  • test07b_closepolygons (django.contrib.gis.gdal.tests.test_geom.OGRGeomTest)
  • test09a_srs (django.contrib.gis.gdal.tests.test_geom.OGRGeomTest)
  • test10_difference (django.contrib.gis.gdal.tests.test_geom.OGRGeomTest)
  • test11_intersection (django.contrib.gis.gdal.tests.test_geom.OGRGeomTest)
  • test12_symdifference (django.contrib.gis.gdal.tests.test_geom.OGRGeomTest)
  • test13_union (django.contrib.gis.gdal.tests.test_geom.OGRGeomTest)

Here's the output from the test runner:

This is because the MacPorts install for GDAL (​https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/gis/gdal/Portfile) doesn't include GEOS support by default. There is a GEOS variant (see "variant geos" in the previous link), but it must be manually specified when installing. So instead of doing as the documentation suggests:

$ sudo port install gdal

Users should instead use:

$ sudo port install gdal +geos

Manually specifying the GEOS requirement fixes the above test errors.
