AlmaLinux - Spine configuration error

[KevinNoall]

I'm attempting to setup Spine in a clean install of AlmaLinux 9 and am getting an error when doing ./configure

configure: error: Cannot find MySQL headers. Use --with-mysql= to specify non-default path.

This is running MariaDb 10.5.16 with a standard install via dnf.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated

Code: Select all

dnf install mariadb-devel

I've tried that....
[cacti@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install mariadb-devel
[sudo] password for cacti:
Last metadata expiration check: 0:05:30 ago on Mon Feb 6 11:33:40 2023.
No match for argument: mariadb-devel

You need to ensure the AppStream repo is enabled. A simple google shows that the RPM is definitely there.
https://almalinux.pkgs.org/8/almalinux- ... 4.rpm.html

Code: Select all

yum list | egrep -i "(MariaDB|MySQL)"

[KevinNoall]

Interesting, despite AppStream being enabled by default:
https://wiki.almalinux.org/repos/AlmaLinux.html
and the system indicating it is enabled:
sudo dnf repolist
[sudo] password for cacti:
repo id repo name
appstream AlmaLinux 9 - AppStream
baseos AlmaLinux 9 - BaseOS
extras AlmaLinux 9 - Extras

the system does not find that package:
[cacti@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install mariadb-devel
AlmaLinux 9 - AppStream 5.0 kB/s | 4.1 kB 00:00
AlmaLinux 9 - BaseOS 5.9 kB/s | 3.8 kB 00:00
AlmaLinux 9 - Extras 5.8 kB/s | 3.8 kB 00:00

I ended up having to do:
sudo dnf --enablerepo=crb install mysql-devel

to get spine to compile properly

[cigamit]

Ya, I didn't have a good experience in Alma (lots of random issues like this) so everything I have is running on Rocky currently.

[KevinNoall]

Interesting, this was my first go after Centos7 so it's always a process. I like how they did the structure of Alma foundation not being tied to any corporation so I started there.
What else have you found to be problematic in Alma vs Rocky?

[TheWitness]

I just use MariaDB's repos. Easier that way. And Rocky is fine.
