Whose uuid package are you using? If it's actually been packaged
properly for RHEL/Centos, I would bet that the problem is you forgot
to install the uuid-devel subpackage. If it's something you built
from source, it more than likely installed into /usr/local/, and
then your problem is that PG isn't searching /usr/local/lib/ for the
libraries. The best fix for the latter is to adjust the ldconfig
configuration to include that directory.
