 PostGIS 2.0 requires GEOS >= 3.3.2 for topology support, however Ubuntu 11.10 only has GEOS 3.2.2 available in packages, so it needs to be built from source. If you don't need topology, you don't ''need'' to build this component, but it is highly recommended.
 
-These are the instructions for building geos 3.3.3 found elsewhere on trac.osgeo.org, but '''they did not work for me in 12.04''':
+These are the instructions for building geos 3.3.3, based on instructions found elsewhere on trac.osgeo.org with some additions determined through trial and error:
 {{{
-sudo apt-get install g++    ''--- added to other instructions, not installed by default in 12.04 & required for this make
+sudo apt-get install g++ ruby ruby1.8-dev swig swig2.0   ''--- added to other instructions, not installed by default in 12.04 & required for this make
 wget http://download.osgeo.org/geos/geos-3.3.3.tar.bz2
 tar xvfj geos-3.3.3.tar.bz2
 cd geos-3.3.3
 ./configure
-make   ''--- this failed''
+make
 sudo make install
 cd ..
 }}}
+
+To confirm this works, do the following:
+{{{
+$ geos-config --version
+3.3.3
+$ 
+}}}
