Hi, I ran the following command on my server: yum search postgresql this listed postgresql92-contrib.x86_64 package. I tried to do a yum install of this package but that threw an error that it requires libossp-uuid.so.16()(64bit). [root@perf277 ~]# yum install postgresql92-contrib.x86_64 Loaded plugins: product-id, security, subscription-manager This system is not registered to Red Hat Subscription Management.

Thanks.

I need to generate uuids using the uuid_generate_v4() function. select * from pg_available_extensions does not list this extension. The only extension that is available is plpgsql. I find uuid libraries, libuuid.so.1 and libuuid.so.1.3.0 in /lib64 folder. What should I do next ? How can I can install this extension ? Thanks, Thara.
