I'm trying to install postgis on an Amazon Linux AMI 2015.09 - x86_64 machine. I was able to install PostgreSQL 9.3, however, when I try to install postgis2_93, I get a notice that gdal requires a libpopper library. When I --skip-broken it misses a whole bunch of dependencies and though it doesn't throw any errors, it doesn't install. I found people complaining about this problem back in Apr 2015, but I couldn't find any resolution. Do you folks have any suggestions?
