Обсуждение: UUID functions - installation

Hi.

I need to use UUID generation functions within a database.

I have downloaded uuid-1.6.2.tar and unzipped.
Contained within is the folder pgsql which contains are four files:

1. Makefile
2 uuid.c
3. uuid.sql.in
4. uuid.txt

Reading the text file i am not clear how to install this functionality.
Can somone please help instruct me where to place these files and how to install.

Try "make USE_PGXS=1 all" then "make USE_PGXS=1 install".  If that
doesn't work I'd suggest moving to a newer PG release where UUID
is integrated.
