[postgis-devel] PostGIS 2.1.0beta3 build issues on Ubuntu 13.04

[Bborie Park]

See if your build works by commenting out line 1057 of configure.ac
with "dnl". So, change configure.ac with

dnl LIBGDAL_DEPLIBS_LDFLAGS=`$GDAL_CONFIG --dep-libs`

And then run ./autogen.sh to rebuild the configure script.
