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

On Ubuntu you can also work around that issue by calling cmake with having PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR defined like this:

cmake -DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/postgresql/

See the bug report [1] for this issue and a potential fix [2]. Álso see the discussion about the reasoning behind the move on the debian mailinglist at [3].

On Ubuntu/Debian, starting with PostgreSQL 9.3 the header file pg_type.h is moved to a separate package (from libpq-dev to postgresql-server-dev) and consequently the file pg_type.h is moved to a new location
