The following bug has been logged on the website:

Bug reference: 15877
Logged by: Karl Pinc
Email address: kop(at)karlpinc(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 10.9
Operating system: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.6 (Maipo
Description:

Other installed packages:
postgis24_10.x86_64 2.4.7-3.rhel7
@pgdg10
gdal-libs.x86_64 1.11.4-12.rhel7
@pgdg10
gdal23-libs.x86_64 2.3.2-7.rhel7
@pgdg10

I tried restoring a database with postgis installed in it and could not:

$ pg_restore -U babase_admin -1 -d karl_test < /tmp/babase_test.custom
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC:
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error from TOC entry 2; 3079 320225 EXTENSION
postgis
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] could not execute query: ERROR: could not load
library "/usr/pgsql-10/lib/rtpostgis-2.4.so": libgdal.so.20: cannot open
shared object file: No such file or directory
Command was: CREATE EXTENSION IF NOT EXISTS postgis WITH SCHEMA
postgis;

The fix was to add the file: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gdal23-pgdg-libs.conf
The content is:
/usr/gdal23/lib/

Then, I ran: ldconfig

I suspect that someone needs to add /usr/gdal23/lib to whatever rpm package
configures ldconfig
for postgis. There is a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/geos37-pgdg-libs.conf file from
the geos37 package,
so maybe the gdal23-libs package needs to do the same thing?

Thanks for your attention.
