Re: extract properties from certificates

I could compile the pg-cert extension package, but postgresql 9.6 
refused to install it.

create extension cert;
FEHLER:  geschachteltes CREATE EXTENSION wird nicht unterstützt
means "ERROR: nested CREATE EXTENSION is not supported"

At line 12 in /usr/share/postgresql/9.6/extension/cert--0.1.1.sql 
another extension called bignum is created.
As a short try, I tryed to install in seperatly. I commentent that out, 
git cloned the https://github.com/beargiles/pg-bignum project, make and 
make install leads to an error, but the extension files are available in 
the extensions directory:

  sudo make install
/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/share/postgresql/9.6/extension'
/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/share/postgresql/9.6/extension'
/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/lib'
/bin/mkdir -p '/usr/share/doc/postgresql-doc-9.6/extension'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 .//bignum.control 
'/usr/share/postgresql/9.6/extension/'
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 .//sql/bignum--0.8.0.sql 
.//sql/bignum--0.8.0.sql  '/usr/share/postgresql/9.6/extension/'
/usr/bin/install: Neu erstelltes 
'/usr/share/postgresql/9.6/extension/bignum--0.8.0.sql' wird nicht mit 
'.//sql/bignum--0.8.0.sql' überschrieben.
/usr/lib/postgresql/9.6/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk:114: die Regel 
für Ziel „install“ scheiterte
make: *** [install] Fehler 1

I could not create the bignum extension in my database:

create extension bignum;
FEHLER:  konnte nicht auf Datei »bignum« zugreifen: Datei oder 
Verzeichnis nicht gefunden
means "ERROR: could not access file "bignum": File or directory not found"


Has anybody anybody an idea, how to fix this,
or maybe another aproach to extract properties from X.509 certificates?

Beste Regards Johannes
