[postgis-users] PostGIS 2.2.0 build error on Linux.

[Bandaru Muralikrishna]

My compiler version is :

gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-55)

One more question , is bison 3.0 version required to build PostGIS
2.2.0 ?  because i got the below build error when i build with bison
2.3 version. After upgrade bison to 3.0.4, the build issue got
resolved. Interestingly build was passed on OS X  ( 10.9 ) with bison
2.3 version without any build issue.

-----

bison -y -o'lwin_wkt_parse.c' -d lwin_wkt_parse.y

lwin_wkt_parse.y:106.14-21: syntax error, unexpected string, expecting =

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/mnt/hgfs/pginstaller.pune/PostGIS/source/postgis.linux/liblwgeom'

make[1]: *** [lwin_wkt_parse.h] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 1
