Server - RHEL 6
PHP - 5.5
Location: /opt/php-postal & /opt/libpostal
libpostal is already installed
So by default when you make install libpostal, it should use the prefix /usr/local so try ls /usr/local/lib/libpostal*. If that returns anything, then RHEL probably just doesn't have /usr/local in its default paths, so you'll have to specify it when compiling the PHP lib with: ./configure --with-libpostal-dir=/usr/local
If you installed libpostal somewhere else, i.e. did ./configure --prefix=/opt/libpostal or something like that, then the value for --with-libpostal-dir= should be identical to what you used for --prefix= when configuring the C library.
ls returns this result
ls /usr/local/lib/libpostal*

Again getting same error
Ok, looking at the generated configure script, that error happens when pkg-config cannot find libpostal.
Make sure that pkg-config is installed (yum install pkgconfig if not, and reinstall the libpostal C library). I'm not sure what the default directory is on RHEL but check the following directories and look for a file called "libpostal.pc":
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
/usr/local/share/pkgconfig/
/usr/share/pkgconfig/
If that file can be found, you might need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH to that directory during configure.
When pkg-config is working properly this command should return something: pkg-config --cflags --libs libpostal. If that's all working, you should be able to build successfully.
The primary targets for libpostal and its bindings are Mac and Ubuntu, so RHEL support is experimental at best. If there's something missing from the configure script that would make it easier to build on RHEL/CentOS, I'm happy to accept patches.
$ pkg-config --cflags --libs libpostal
Package libpostal was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpostal.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libpostal' found
$ locate libpostal.pc
/opt/libpostal/libpostal.pc
/opt/libpostal/libpostal.pc.in
/opt/libpostal_old/libpostal.pc.in
/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/libpostal.pc
libpostal.pc is located in opt/libpostal,
package config couldnt able to identify that
From what I can tell, /opt/libpostal is where the source checkout lives. It looks like the installed version is in /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig/. Try export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig, then run pkg-config --cflags --libs libpostal again. If it returns something, you should be able to run configure.
fixed , moved the libpostal.pc file to package config location
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/pkgconfig
worked to solve configure problem on Centos 7
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
if you set base to /usr/local
