Ah, O.K., sorry, I tried not to be too verbose.
'/usr' should read as 'the respective subdirectories in /usr'.

To be precise, for uuid I have:
/usr/bin/uuidgen [the CL tool, which should be of no interest here]
/usr/include/uuid/uuid.h

and that's the same as you have. Nothing else uuid-related in /usr.
And yes, AFAICT, uuid-functionalities (a) are part of libc, (b) appear to be
DCE compatible.

I have installed _ossp-uuid_ with --prefix=usr/local, so my question is not,
why pg's configure script ignores OS X's uuid stuff. I'm looking for a way
to let configure recognize the ossp-uuid library.
