sorry, didn't know that what looked like plain text was clickable and show more useful information.

the build log shows the following...

indeed in my Cargo.toml i have...

...
geos = { version = "11.1.1", features = ["v3_14_0"] }

because on my development box i have GEOS 3.14.1 installed.

now i do not know how to proceed?!

is there a special form/procedure to request the availability of the latest GEOS package to be installed?

thanks in anticipation + cheers;

This is our documentation page about builds https://docs.rs/about/builds#missing-dependencies .
much of the information you'll find there.

• the docs.rs build environment is https://github.com/rust-lang/crates-build-env
• it's based on the latest ubuntu LTS release
• you can add new packages, as long as they are ubuntu packages.
• it looks like 3.12.1 is the latest version available as ubuntu package.
• we'll update our build image with the next ubuntu LTS release.

In your case, the "classic" options are:

• change your library to be able to work with the older version
• use docs.rs metadata and conditional compilation, to make just the docs build without the system dependency. Most of the time, the public types of your library don't depend on the system dependency.
