Description José de Paula Rodrigues 2021-05-07 18:33:04 UTC

With sci-libs/proj-8.0.1 landing on the portage repository, dev-db/postgis-3.1.1 doesn't build anymore; with sci-libs/proj-7.2.1, it builds correctly.

With proj-8.0.1, the postgis ebuild fails with the following log:

checking proj.h usability... yes
checking proj.h presence... yes
checking for proj.h... yes
checking for proj.h... (cached) yes
checking for pj_get_release in -lproj... no
configure: error: could not find libproj - you may need to specify the directory of a PROJ installation using --with-projdir
