Trouble installing PostGIS on Amazon Linux server

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?

# yum install postgis2_93

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