[postgis-users] compiling from source code

Hi Regina,

 I tried several version of postgis (2.3.3, 2.4.0dev, 2.1.8). I have
pkg_config installed on my system.

 The error I get is:
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc
configure: error: in `/home/sandeep/.cache/Homebrew/postgis-2.3.3':
configure: error: C preprocessor "gcc" fails sanity check

The configure doesn't proceed after this in my case.

Is there any temporary workaround that you suggest I can try?

Thanks.
sandeep

For example in PostGIS 2.4, I think we now have a dependency on pkg-config which older versions of PostGIS do not.  We'll sort this out before PostGIS release, but I think downside at moment, is the it fails if pkg-config is not installed.  I forget the exact error you get.
