I’m looking to add the Gnu DDD graphical debugger to Rocky Linux 8.6 system. I have the “Development Tools” basic development environment setup. Checking the “groupinfo” I don’t see ddd listed. When I tried to install DDD via yum it could not find ddd.
-~-> yum install ddd
Last metadata expiration check: 1:06:23 ago on Thu Aug 10 17:48:20 2023.
No match for argument: ddd
Error: Unable to find a match: ddd
Any help would be appreicated.
Hi,
Its in the epel repo, probably should enable power tools aswell.
Regards Tom.
Hasn’t powertools being replaced by CRB ?
Both RHEL 8 and RHEL 9 do have CodeReady Linux Builder repository. That was introduced with RHEL 8.
The name is a registered trademark(?), so other than Red Hat cannot use it.
CentOS Linux 8 did use name “PowerTools” to avoid the issue. Rocky 8 follows the suit and has powertools repo.
By release of RHEL 9 it had been figured out that name “CRB” is ok too. That is why Rocky 9 has crb repo.
Just a quick thanks to @jlehtone. I never knew the history or reasons for first calling it power tools, then crb.
Thanks @tjdoyle and @jlehtone. (I can only mention two in the post 
) Was able to get ddd setup and running, really appreciate the help and information shared.
