Hi, cmake fails to find postgresql on debian.

-DPOSTGRESQL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpq.so.5.7

-- Could NOT find PostgreSQL (missing:  PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR) (found version "9.4.8")
-- PostgreSQL not found!

Okay the one where autodetection fails is an usptream bug: https://cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2012-December/053027.html

The other one where specifying the path manually fails is connected to that bug as well.

@Megaf you can work around by specifying the PostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR variable instead:

-DPOSTGRESQL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpq.so.5.7 -DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/postgresql/

Ok, it seems like cmake ignores totally the -DPOSTGRESQL_LIBRARY because when using

-DPOSTGRESQL_LIBRARY=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpq.so.5.7 -DPostgreSQL_TYPE_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/postgresql/

It says...

-- Found PostgreSQL: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpq.so (found version "9.4.8")

And it finds it anyway without using -DPOSTGRESQL_LIBRARY
