OSSP UUID present but cannot be compiled
While building 9.2.3 on OS X 10.8.2 today:
checking ossp/uuid.h usability... no
checking ossp/uuid.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: ossp/uuid.h: present but cannot be compiled

So you asked for it. Here's how I configured Postgres:
./configure --with-bonjour --with-perl PERL=$PERL \
--with-openssl --with-pam --with-krb5 --with-libxml \
--with-ossp-uuid --with-includes=/usr/local/include \
--enable-integer-datetimes --with-zlib \
--with-libs=/usr/local/lib
And here's how I configured OSSP UUID:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-perl=/usr/local/bin/perl \
--includedir=/usr/local/include/ossp
I think I have reported this before. Maybe it's not worth worrying about? I seem to be able to install the uuid-ossp extension and it works. So Ignore?
Thanks,
David

Yeah, you did:

I still think it's incumbent on OSSP to fix this, not us. Or if
they've gone dead, maybe we need to start looking for some other
source of uuid support.

The OSSP UUID library has not been updated since 2008, and their FTP server has been down for a couple of years. Ralf posts to Twitter now and then, but has never responded to any of my DMs or emails.
Yeah, I think it's time to look elsewhere -- or to fork it.

ossp-uuid still works, in spite of its age, but I have started a
replacement here if people are interested:
