Problems with postgresql contrib

Hi.

I've installed Arch on my computer but I'm having a problem now with postgresql and a missing library. I'm developing some add ons to Openbravo and I need to use postgresql and UUID that is provided by uuid-ossd.so lib that according to the docs on Openbravo and other sites is from postgresql-contrib package. The problem is that I've installed the contrib package on my Arch and there is nothing there regarding uuid!

I've tryed with the contrib package from pacman and even one from AUR but can't manage to have uuid-ossd.so lib .

How can I solve this problem? Any other package that provides this missing lib for postgresql?

Thanks,
Mike

Re: Problems with postgresql contrib

I'd suggest building PostgreSQL from source, and making sure you include the contrib you want before you compile. It's really quite easy, and gives you better control over your PG install, especially when major updates happen. (eg, 7.4 to 8.0)
