Libyaml Installed but Not Found

Support
1

I need to install some Ruby gems that depend on libyaml. It’s installed but it cannot be found for some reason.

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.:/home/user3/.rbenv/versions/3.1.2/lib pkg-config --exists yaml-0.1
package configuration for yaml-0.1 is not found
find_header: checking for yaml.h... -------------------- no

How can I get this installed? I’ve tried and this is what I get:

Package libyaml-0.2.5-7.el9.x86_64 is already installed.

it’ll be looking for libyaml-devel in that case

Doesn’t seem to like that.

that’s the wrong package, the one you want is in the CodeReadyBuilder repo, this works:

sudo dnf --enablerepo=crb install libyaml-devel
