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

From Linux Mint 17.3 ("Rosa") with PostgreSQL 9.3, I had to adjust ilia choly's solution (interestingly, the suggested postgres entry in the list was already present in the file, but wasn't enough to fix things).

I had to edit /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPostgreSQL.cmake around line 114 and add postgresql/9.3 so that the find_path call looks like

find_path(PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR
  NAMES catalog/pg_type.h
  PATHS
   # Look in other places.
   ${PostgreSQL_ROOT_DIRECTORIES}
  PATH_SUFFIXES
    postgresql/9.3
    postgresql
    pgsql/server
    postgresql/server
    include/server
  # Help the user find it if we cannot.
