Trying to build postgis on centos10

[Regina Obe]

Hmm I would have expected that to work.  To be honest, I've never tried building postgis from source on Centos.  I just always use the packages from yum.postgresql.org

I suppose it could be for whatever reason the paths aren't set and pointing at pg_config is not sufficent.  When I build under windows, I always set my paths.

Before starting your compile try

export PATH=/usr/pgsql-16/bin:/usr/pgsql-16/lib:$PATH
