Install librsync on RHEL 7
 

Hi folks,

We have RHEL 7 and we need to get librsync installed.

Would you guys be able to help us?

When we try installing an application, we receive the following error:

checking librsync.h usability... no
checking librsync.h presence... no
checking for librsync.h... no
checking for rs_delta_begin in -lrsync... no
Please install librsync

If we check with RPM, we get the following:

[root@localhost src]# rpm -q librsync
librsync-1.0.0-1.el5.x86_64


Any help would be much appreciated .

Thanks

yum install librsync-devel

The -devel version includes the header files required to compile code that uses the library.

Thanks,

Here is the result:

[root@localhost burp]# yum install librsync-devel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
This system is registered to Red Hat Subscription Management, but is not receiving updates. You can use subscription-manager to assign subscriptions.
No package librsync-devel available.
Error: Nothing to do

Looks like you've turned off updates for your system, effectively killing yum. Any particular reason why?

No, never updated that.

How can I change it ?

The error message says to use subscription-manager, so I would start there.

Fixed that and now this is what we get:

[root@localhost burp]# yum install librsync-devel
Loaded plugins: langpacks, product-id, subscription-manager
No package librsync-devel available.
Error: Nothing to do

It looks like librsync is in epel. I assumed since you have librsync that you had already added the epel repository, is this not the case? How did you get librsync?
