[SOLVED] trouble installing 4.16 on AlmaLinux 9

Working my way down the dependencies, compiling each package. I got to thunar-volman, which fails because it can't find gudev.

I have libgudev 1.0, it is part of the system, but apparently it does not come with a .pc file for pkgconfig. I lack knowledge of how to hand-create a .pc file.

Is there a way to fake out the configure script so it won't fail there?

Thanks in advance!

Fred

Look for a libgudev-devel package. It will contain the necessary files for building.

yes, I know to look for a -devel package, but the base system provides libgudev but livgudev-devel, which seems weird. so, I just enabled EPEL and lo and behold, it has the -devel package. Go Figure.

So, I'm now movin' along to the next step.

Thanks for the knock on the head!
