Failed `CDLL(/opt/local/lib/libgeos_c.dylib)` message seems misplaced.

See original GitHub issue

Please note

Expected behavior and actual behavior.

Expected behavior is to NOT see this error message: Failed CDLL(/opt/local/lib/libgeos_c.dylib) While that load failed, a ‘fallback’ load succeeded.

Steps to reproduce the problem.

from shapely.geometry import Point

I am able to get around the issue with this patch to geos.py:

warnList = [] # keep warn list if not dll and fallbacks is not None: for name in fallbacks: try: LOG.debug(“Trying CDLL(%s)”, name) dll = CDLL(name, mode=mode) except OSError: # move on to the next fallback

           LOG.warn("Failed `CDLL(%s)`", name)

           warnList.append(name)                # do NOT warn, save them up

```
           #LOG.warn("Failed `CDLL(%s)`", name)
           pass
```
if dll: LOG.debug(“Library path: %r”, lib or name) LOG.debug(“DLL: %r”, dll) return dll else:

   for warn in warnList:                   # do warnings now

       LOG.warn("Failed `CDLL(%s)`", warn)

With 1.6.4, the warning is gone. My python2 was using an old version of shapely (not sure which version). I would think that this problem could be closed out with 1.6.4 fixing the issue!
