[postgis-users] Install problem with PROJ directory

[William Kyngesburye]

--with-projdir=/Library/Frameworks/PROJ.framework/unix

should work (it's how I make my postgis package).  Configure will figure out the includes and other subdirs.  You probably also need:

--with-gdalconfig=/Library/Frameworks/GDAL.framework/unix/bin/gdal-config
