'How to install PostGIS on Oracle Linux 6.4 x64?

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:

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?

Solution 1:[1]

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
