The Red Hat postgresql84 RPMs do not include contrib/uuid, period.
Installing a copy of libuuid won't change that.
If you need contrib/uuid, and don't want to build it from source, I'd
suggest looking into using the PGDG postgresql RPMs. I'm not 100% sure
that those include contrib/uuid either, but you have a better chance
than you do with postgresql84.
