Well, apparently the copy of Postgres you have was built on a different
platform than you're using ... one where libuuid is thought to be at
major version 16. I don't know where that would've been exactly ---
on my Fedora box, libuuid is libuuid.so.1.3.0 also.

You need to get those version numbers to match up, either by finding a
version of PG that *was* built on your platform, or by rebuilding PG
locally.

I have heard of people hacking this type of situation by creating a
symlink from one library version to the other, but that seems pretty
risky to me.
