How about building postgis against json-c from [testing]. Does that fix the error?
I guess once json-c 0.12 is moved from testing, I'll have to rebuild postgis.

Json-c 0.12 is API and ABI inkompatible with 0.11, without bumping the soname. Builing postgis against json-c 0.12 failed. Maybe json-c 0.12 should install und er a different soname vor path?

Upstream bug:

This issue requires recompilation of the two packages with custom patches: gdal and postgis. Patch for gdal already taken upstream and will be released with the next version: http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/5449 fixing postgis requires 3 line changes in the liblwgeom/lwin_geojson.c file (minimal patch which is attached). I've added patching to the prepare section of PKGBUILDs downloaded with abs and recompiled corresponding packages to fix this issue. I think it might be good to use this solution untill bugs are not fixed upstream.

Same problem.
Comment by Anatol Pomozov (anatolik) - Friday, 30 May 2014, 12:52 GMT
Current workaround is to downgrade json-c back to 0.11.

Jaroslav, do you need help with this bug? I can take care of it.

This bug affects many people so I am going to bite the bullet and fix this issue.

Fixed postgis will be available in [testing] soon. Please check that it works as expected.

Ping. Did anyone test version 2.1.3-2 from [testing]?

works fine for me, thanks.
