inspect current status

brew info postgresql
brew info postgis
psql --version
which psql

try 1: switch to old brew

brew info postgis

# if found old versions:
brew switch postgis 2.4.4_1

try 2: reinstall postgis

brew reinstall postgis

ref: Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#46358

try 3: install homebrew in history

brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/aa049a47b218fda30f9a4a454119ae067a02cf50/Formula/postgis.rb

after this, the error message changed but I didn't record it down.

try 4: build postgis from source (this works for my case)

download source from https://postgis.net/install/

in my case, it's postgis-2.4.4.tar.gz

# change path accordingly

brew unlink postgis

tar zxf postgis-2.4.4.tar.gz
cd postgis-2.4.4
./configure --with-pgconfig=/usr/local/Cellar/postgresql/9.6.2/bin/pg_config --with-xml2config=/usr/local/Cellar/libxml2/2.9.7/bin/xml2-config
make
make install
