Dear PostgreSQL bug-squasher-team, I was trying to build postgresql-9.0.2 with the following ./configure:
$ ./configure --enable-cassert --enable-debug --with-python --with-ossp-uuid and got the following message: checking uuid.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: uuid.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: uuid.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: uuid.h: see the Autoconf documentation configure: WARNING: uuid.h: section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled" configure: WARNING: uuid.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result configure: WARNING: uuid.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence configure: WARNING: ## ---------------------------------------- ## configure: WARNING: ## Report this to pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org ## configure: WARNING: ## ---------------------------------------- ## checking for uuid.h... yes I've downloaded and installed the requisite ossp-uuid library: ftp ftp://ftp.ossp.org/pkg/lib/uuid/uuid-1.6.2.tar.gz which builds fine (I didn't use the ./configure --with-pgsql option for installing uuid-1.6.2 as it throws an error too). Sadly, I got this to install yesterday, but in a ridiculously stupid brain lapse, I didn't document it. I'm nor trying to recreate the postgresql-9.0.2 install from scratch and get stuck here. Help?
