How to install PostGIS on Oracle Linux 6.4 x64?

Question

I am reading the following guide http://www.postgresonline.com/journal/archives/329-An-almost-idiots-guide-to-install-PostgreSQL-9.3,-PostGIS-2.1-and-pgRouting-with-Yum.html (this link is from http://postgis.net/install). The command yum install postgis2_93 gives the following errors:

Error: Package: gdal-libs-1.9.2-6.rhel6.x86_64 (pgdg93)
           Requires: libhdf5.so.6()(64bit)

They were expected. Then I do the following (it's according to the guide):

sudo rpm -ivh http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

and yum install postgis2_93 gives the following:

yum clean all and yum clean metadata don't solve the problem. I also tried to use EPEL 7.1, but I got the same errors. Where can I get these packages?

Are you using the PostgreSQL RPMs from http://yum.postgresql.org/ or elsewhere? — Craig Ringer, Sep 03 '14 at 11:21
@CraigRinger Yes, I use RPMs from yum.postgresql.org. I have installed it like it is written in that instruction: `rpm -ivh http://yum.postgresql.org/9.3/redhat/rhel-6-x86_64/pgdg-oraclelinux93-9.3-1.noarch.rpm && yum install postgresql93 postgresql93-server postgresql93-libs postgresql93-contrib postgresql93-devel` It has passed with no errors. — user2717575, Sep 03 '14 at 11:33
So your issue is that you can't fetch package-lists from EPEL. Proxy/firewall issues? (BTW, I've close-voted this as off topic for Stack Overflow). — Craig Ringer, Sep 03 '14 at 12:00
@CraigRinger I use neither proxy nor firewall. Therefore I can't understand where the problem is. — user2717575, Sep 03 '14 at 12:11

Switch to baseurl in /etc/yum.repos.d/epel.repo:

baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/$basearch
#mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-6&arch=$basearch

The fix will propagate to the mirrors within the next couple of hours.

Be sure to switch to mirrorlist again later on, so that we don't all hammer the hosts assigned to download.fedoraproject.org

It works for me.

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm
