Compile on RHEL9: No libtalloc-devel
Hi there, We had to do a upgrade our RHEL 9 VM (dnf update). And now it seems there is no libtalloc-devel package anymore. dnf provides '*talloc.h' cant find anything. Has anyone managed to compile under the latest RHEL 9 using libraries from the official RHEL repositories? Or do I also have to compile talloc from the source code? Cheers, Till

It might be in a separate package repository? TBH, Redhat does a lot of weird things.

We do builds all of the time. You should be able to use our packages at: https://packages.inkbridgenetworks.com/ These packages are provided for free as a service to the community. I'll also note that RH typically has very, very, old versions of FreeRADIUS. The packages we supply are up to date. Alan DeKok.

Hi Alan, thanks for your quick reply! Yes you are right, it does strange things indeed. I realized now that the subscription manager removed some of the repositories. I had to re-add "codeready-builder-for-rhel-9" (subscription-manager repos --enable=codeready-builder-for-rhel-9-x86_64-rpms). An now, libtalloc-devel is back!

Thanks for that. But we wrote some modules of our own. Cheers, Till
