CentOS 6 / 8 & Rocky 9 installation errors / notes #148
Description
during the ./configure on a Centos 8 server, there were some dependencies that were missing, but the output messages from the ./configure were inconsistant
good: bzip2 was installed, but bzip2-devel was missing, and it gave this helpful message:
(you may also have to install bzip2-devel)
good: lzo was installed, but liblzo was missing, and it gave this helpful message:
(you may also have to install lzo-devel)
not good: lz4 was installed, but lz4-devel was missing, yet it didn't mention I should install the "-devel" package (I tried installing the lz4-devel package, and it resolved the error) - issuing a message similar to the first 2 "good" responses would be better
not good: libgcrypt was installed, but libgcrypt-devel was missing, yet it didn't mention I should install the "-devel" package (I tried installing the libgcrypt-devel package, and it resolved the error) - issuing a message similar to the first 2 "good" responses would be better
not good: e2fsprogs was installed (for ext2fs support), but e2fsprogs-devel was missing, yet it didn't mention I should install the "-devel" package (I tried installing the e2fsprogs-devel package, and it resolved the error) - issuing a message similar to the first 2 "good" responses would be better
not good: Package 'blkid', required by 'virtual:world', not found - this one could use a MUCH better solution message - the util-linux package is already install (which is where the blkid command comes from), but it uses the libblkid package, and THAT needs the "-devel" package installed to resolve the error - - issuing a message similar to the first 2 "good" responses would be better
after resolving all those errors, it finished the configure correctly
the "make" and "make install" appear to have run successfully after those were resolved, as the binary was found using "which" and the man page existed.
now for the testing :) Thanks!
