Well you need something to provide pg_config for the version of Postgres
you want to install Postgis on it. That could come from packaged version
as well as a source built version. In your case you showed already
building Postgres. From your previous post:

"Next I built PostgreSQL successfully from source as below:
./configure --prefix=/path/to/pgsql
make
make install"

I would say the order is:

1) A Postgres installation with pg_config, whether that is building from
source or installing a package.

2) Build GDAL using the pg_config from 1)

3) Build Postgis using the pg_config from 1) and gdalconfig from 2)


I don't use Postgis so this is just a best guess on my part. That is why
I initially suggested just using the Postgres Yum repos to install
Postgres and Postgis. Then the build process is taken care of for you.
