RGeo is not supported?
---------------------
If the command below in `rails console` returns `false`
```
RGeo::Geos.supported?
=> false
```
Remove previous rgeo installation
`gem uninstall rgeo`
Install GEOS packages
`sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev libgeos-x.y.z`
Create a symbolic link named libgeos.so that points to the newly installed version of libgeos
```
cd /usr/lib
ln -s libgeos-x.y.z.so libgeos.so
```
Clone again the rails project in other location and
`bundle install`
Now `RGeo::Geos.supported?` will return `true`
