Reinstall libgeos-c1 using your package manager and don't ever manually remove or change files in your /usr/ directory again.

  • I don't know exactly what you did and what package created the libgeos_c.so.1 file. Do you have a libgeos_c.so file now (probably in /usr/lib/, I don't know Ubuntu)? If you compiled QGIS yourself, it might need to be recompiled so it knows where to find the library. If your libgeos_c.so.1 was not from the libgeos-c1 package, then reinstall whatever other package it came from. – bugmenot123 Aug 14 '15 at 14:53
