  • 0

i am working on a simple employee listing Django application. i wanted to include filtering in my app, so tried installing django-filter module. i think django-filter is not installed properly ( i am not going to use it anyway). But after doing this, when i try to run my application, it gives this ,

"`ViewDoesNotExist at /employeeList/` ;
Could not import task.employeeDetails.views. Error was: Could not find the GEOS library (tried "geos_c", "GEOS"). Try setting GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings "

. while i searched for the error,came to know the error is due to some wrong geoDjango installation. But i dont need geoDjango and i am wondering how its throwing this error. Before doing this, my app was working fine. Somebody please help me to solve this problem.

    Things to check:

    1. Are you using the GeoDjango database classes? If your database engine is set to something like django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis or django.contrib.gis.db.backends.mysql, those are the geo backends. What you want is something like django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2 or django.db.backends.mysql. Not the lack of the “contrib.gis” part.

    2. The other most likely possibility is that task.employeeDetails.views is importing or running something that requires GEOS.
