I'm evaluating Oracle Linux as a CentOS alternatives. During my tests I have to compile a package depending on libyaml-devel but the lib isn't present in the repo.

I had the impression Oracle Linux would provide the same packages as RHEL. So why I can find it for RHEL but not Oracle? Do I miss something?

The RHEL 8 packages and the Oracle one's.

You need to enable "PowerTools" repository equivalent. For Oracle Linux 8:

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enabled ol8_codeready_builder

  • I couldn't locate any docs in Oracle about the repository. Used pkgs.org to see what is the repository containing libyaml-devel; following that, a google search on enabling PowerTools repo in Oracle Linux 8 will bring you here with someone stating the correct repository ID.
