[postgis-users] compiling from source code

[Sandeep Gupta]

Hi,

I am using gcc version 5.3 to compile postgis on Fedora.
The compile  fails at the configure step.

I get the error:

configure: error: C preprocessor "gcc" fails sanity check
See `config.log' for more details

The relevant line in config.log:
configure:3031: gcc -v >&5

It seems gcc does not like "-V" option. I this a issue to with later
gcc versions?

Thanks.
