error: Please install the PostgreSQL server development packages and re-run configure

Assuming you're using PostgreSQL from http://apt.postgresql.org/ :

apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.3

While you're at it, as @BurhanKhalid points out, you should just be installing PostGIS from packages, rather than from source, as the PostGIS web page explains:

apt-get install postgis2_93

Install postgreSql

sudo apt-get install postgresql postgresql-contrib

Install Postgis.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gwibber-daily/ppasudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install postgresql-9.3-postgis-2.1sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-9.3

create database in Postgresql

createuser -U postgres username -S -D -Rpsql -U postgres -c "alter role username with password 'passhere';"createdb -U postgres -T template_postgis -O username dbname

if you do not have the template_postgis in the postgresql thenswitch to user postgres and run

sudo su postgrescreatedb template_postgiscreatelang plpgsql template_postgis

Now for creating the extansions

psql -d dbname -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis;"psql -d dbname -c "CREATE EXTENSION postgis_topology;"

For PostgreSQL 11, you need to install postgresql-11-postgis-2.5 and postgresql-11-postgis-2.5-scripts as described here.

sudo apt install postgresql-11-postgis-2.5sudo apt install postgresql-11-postgis-2.5-scripts
