Phil,

Do you have a cheat-sheet for installation of both PostgreSQL and PostGIS with all the required extensions?

I'm actually installing it onto OEL 7 AKA "Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo)", and have tried to follow the following guide to getting this all working. As they say, close but no cigar. Possibly because of version differences, but I'm not sure as this is the first time I've tried to do it from scratch.

After downloading and making, installing all the dependencies (including GDAL), when trying to add postgis:

sudo yum install postgis2_10 postgis2_10-client

I get:

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I don't understand why that is. Can postGIS not use GDAL 2.2.4 libs?

Bryan

I have been using PostGIS without complaint for quite some time on Centos 7 using the community packages.
