Re: PGXN installation failure for Postgres Image of PostgreSQL 12 and 13 versions.

It looks like you need to install the postresql development package.  (I don't know the exact name.)

Hi Laurenz,

Thank you for kind attention and acknowledging.

We are using installation steps from the PGXN website https://pgxn.org/dist/temporal_tables/ 

After login in to docker (docker images is postgres:13.5), we are executing these installation steps:
> apt-get install pip; sudo pip install pgxnclient; pgxn install temporal_tables

Error:

pgxn install temporal_tables

It may well be that the extension has a problem.

You should quote the exact error messages, otherwise it is hard to say
what is the matter.
