Re: contrib uuid X64 - Mailing list pgsql-novice

I'm confused. So you're saying that I need to install which extra package to get uuid going? I have installed uuid-1.6
compiledon the box with the ./configure --with-pgsql and it all goes fine and make install works. I run the uuid.sql
scriptand it's not happy. 

psql:/home/rmorris/uuid-ossp.sql:14: ERROR:  could not find function "uuid_ns_dns" in file "/usr/lib64/pgsql/uuid.so"
psql:/home/rmorris/uuid-ossp.sql:19: ERROR:  could not find function "uuid_ns_url" in file "/usr/lib64/pgsql/uuid.so"
psql:/home/rmorris/uuid-ossp.sql:24: ERROR:  could not find function "uuid_ns_oid" in file "/usr/lib64/pgsql/uuid.so"
psql:/home/rmorris/uuid-ossp.sql:29: ERROR:  could not find function "uuid_ns_x500" in file "/usr/lib64/pgsql/uuid.so"
psql:/home/rmorris/uuid-ossp.sql:34: ERROR:  could not find function "uuid_generate_v1" in file
"/usr/lib64/pgsql/uuid.so"
psql:/home/rmorris/uuid-ossp.sql:39: ERROR:  could not find function "uuid_generate_v1mc" in file
"/usr/lib64/pgsql/uuid.so"

Any help or advice would be great. I'd hate to have to reinstall 10 servers with FC14 or something to get this working.

If you're speaking of the Red Hat-provided "postgresql84" RPMs, they
don't include contrib/uuid because Red Hat doesn't ship the underlying
uuid package in RHEL5.

I think it's available in EPEL, and possibly Devrim's packaging of PG
for RHEL5 relies on that copy ... but I can't very well ship a RHEL core
package with an EPEL dependency :-(
