Exactly what did you try?

My system has libgeos-dev.  At the prompt:

edd at max:~$ apt-cache show libgeos-dev
Package: libgeos-dev

Description-en: Geometry engine for GIS - Development files
 GEOS provides a spatial object model and fundamental geometric
 functions. It implements the geometry model defined in the
 OpenGIS Consortium Simple Features Specification for SQL.
 .
 This package contains the headers and libraries needed to
 develop programs using GEOS.

edd at max:~$ apt-cache policy libgeos-dev
libgeos-dev:

edd at max:~$ 

This shows that if I did

     sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev

it would istall version 3.4.2-6build1 from the main ubuntu archive.

I do not know what Mint does but I doubt it.

Dear Dirk et al,

What I've tried is to install libgeos-dev:
sudo apt-get install libgeos-dev

Which gives me, even after adding the ubuntugis-unstable PPA:
E: Unable to locate package libgeos-dev

So I'm a little stuck at the moment. I'm trying to install TMAP on
R-Studio, which requires a number of packages all of which rely on the
libgeos-dev being in place, and I can't seem to find it.

Many thanks again and in advance,

Abed

If Mint really does not have it, you could download the sources for the
package and create a local "backport" of it to your system.  There are some
tutorial out there on how to build a Debian package -- at least you don;t
have to build it from scratch.

You may have to recursively build other build-dependencies too. And as I
said, Debian and Ubuntu seem to have it pre-build...

Dirk

Check "Software Sources".  There should be in the Mirrors section
for "Main (rebecca)" and "Base (trusty)".
"Base" is for Mint-specifc packages, but the vast majority
just come from "Main", which is Ubuntu trusty.

I have had problems with mirror sites that weren't being maintained, so
I suggest you try selecting a different site for the Base packages.
