FindPostgreSQL.cmake won't work on ubuntu

Question

• Ubuntu 12.04
• CMake 2.8.9
• Postgresql 9.2.2

I\'m trying to get the FindPostgreSQL module to find /usr/include/postgre

Answer 1

After a bit more debugging I figured out that it's getting stuck trying to find pg_type.h

This file is located in /usr/include/postgresql/catalog/pg_types.h but the module is expecting to find it in /usr/include/postgresql/server/catalog/pg_types.h

find_path(PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR
  NAMES catalog/pg_type.h
  PATHS
   # Look in other places.
   ${PostgreSQL_ROOT_DIRECTORIES}
  PATH_SUFFIXES
    pgsql/server
    postgresql/server
    include/server
  # Help the user find it if we cannot.
  DOC "The ${PostgreSQL_INCLUDE_DIR_MESSAGE}"
)

It works if I add postgresql to the PATH_SUFFIXES

find_path(PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR
  NAMES catalog/pg_type.h
  PATHS
   # Look in other places.
   ${PostgreSQL_ROOT_DIRECTORIES}
  PATH_SUFFIXES
    postgresql
    pgsql/server
    postgresql/server
    include/server
  # Help the user find it if we cannot.
