Building PG 8.4.1 with ossp-uuid on Centos 5.3
Greetings,
I'm attempting to build a version of PG 8.4.1 with the OSSP uuid
libraries on Centos 5.3 (I'm building PG from source). I simply
cannot seem to find the right libraries to install; even very
promising candidates seem to be a different version than the one PG is
expecting. Configuring PG after installing them with --with-ossp-uuid
returns the error:
configure: error: library 'ossp-uuid' or 'uuid' is required for OSSP-
UUID
However, it *is* finding the libraries correctly, but not the symbol
uuid-export:
conftest.c:(.text+0x7): undefined reference to `uuid_export'
Any thoughts?

Whose uuid package are you using? If it's actually been packaged
properly for RHEL/Centos, I would bet that the problem is you forgot
to install the uuid-devel subpackage. If it's something you built
from source, it more than likely installed into /usr/local/, and
then your problem is that PG isn't searching /usr/local/lib/ for the
libraries. The best fix for the latter is to adjust the ldconfig
configuration to include that directory.

It is indeed installing it in /usr/local/lib, but the ldconfig was
set. What's irritating is that (looking at config.log) it is finding
the library just fine, but not finding the uuid_export function inside
of it.

Hmph. I don't know if there's more than one uuid package in the wild,
but I see from
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/rpms/uuid/devel/uuid.spec?revision=1.17&view=markup
that the package that's standard in recent Fedora is uuid 1.6.1 from
http://www.ossp.org/pkg/lib/uuid/
and I can attest that Postgres does build against that.

FWIW, uuid RPMs are in EPEL repository:

Many thanks; it was a 32 vs 64 bit library problem, solved.
