This is on Linux. It is a custom install. We don’t use RPMs but the tar ball of the binaries. This is why we have the config file when we create the software.

I gave you the solution in a previous mail. You dont need to reinstall postgresql. You just ./configure --what-ever and then go straight to compile and install (make install) the contrib module the usual way, (as root) after you disable USE_PGXS.

Did you try that?

The path looks like it's a very unconventional installation. Usually, it should be something like /usr/local/... if it's on a unixoide system.

Maybe it's a Mac. This should be mentioned in the question.

Hi Natalie,

It looks like the extension is not properly installed.

Should I copy the control file over from the contrib directory?

We provide a PostgreSQL instance that we configure ourselves. An application is now needing the uuid-ossp extension which requires the –with-uuid=ossp flag added to the configuration. 

 

So what happens when you execute create extension?
