Description Nils Olav Selåsdal 2019-05-08 17:01:15 UTC

Description of problem:

Header files for libpcap is missing in RHEL 8. Those files would normally be found in the libpcap-devel package, but no package seems to provide the pcap header files.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
libpcap-1.9.0-1.el8.x86_64

The libpcap-1.9.0-1.el8.x86_64 package contains /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libpcap.pc , which would normally be found in a -devel package.

Hi Nils,

it is not missing, but as it is a -devel package, it is located in a separate repository - CodeReady Builder. You need a developer subscription to access that. More about the repo here: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2018/11/15/introducing-codeready-linux-builder/

Regards,
Michal

For anyone else running into this problem do the following:

Run `subscription-manager list --available | less` and find the subscription which
provides CodeReady for x86. Note the pool number associated with the subscription.

Run `subscription-manager attach --pool=<POOL_NUMBER>` to enable the subscription.

Then run: `subscription-manager repos --enable=codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms` to enable the repo.

`dnf search libpcap` should now include libpcap-devel.
