RE: Reconfiguring active PostgreSQL instance

Hi,

Have you done “at least” the following

cd /u01/app/postgres/product/postgresql/contrib/uuid-ossp

make

make install

Objet : Reconfiguring active PostgreSQL instance

We provide a PostgreSQL instance that we configure ourselves. An application
is now needing the uuid-ossp extension which requires the –with-uuid=ossp
flag added to the configuration. When we did the original configuration, we
did the entire world which means the libraries are available. Is there any
way to add this to the configuration without having to re-run the make and
installs? Or is there a way around this like copying the .sql and .lib files
to the appropriate directories? Or can the configure statement be run again
with just the new flag?

Here is what we run for each install:

./configure --prefix=${POSTGRES_DIR} --bindir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/bin
--sbindir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/sbin --libexecdir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/libexec
--sysconfdir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/etc --libdir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/lib
--includedir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/include --datadir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/data
--mandir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/man --docdir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/doc
--htmldir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/doc --dvidir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/doc
--pdfdir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/doc --psdir=${POSTGRES_DIR}/doc --with-perl
--with-systemd --with-pam

make world

make install

make install-docs

make install-world

Here is what is in the contrib directory:

/u01/app/postgres/product/postgresql/contrib/uuid-ossp>ls

expected/ Makefile sql/ uuid-ossp--1.0--1.1.sql uuid-ossp--1.1.sql
uuid-ossp.c uuid-ossp.control uuid-ossp--unpackaged--1.0.sql
