Hey, I am not a Linux God like some of you, but I know enough to be dangerous.
I am setting up Samba to do be a Active Directory Domain Controller on a Rocky 8.6 box. I have my notes where I have done this many times on CentOS 8.4 and earlier. I have to download and compile Samba, because the version that RedHat includes with the packages cannot be a AD Domain controller. I am at the point where I have downloaded the latest stable samba, un-tarred it, and I am trying to do my ./configure and I get the following message:
Checking for dbus : not found
vfs_snapper is enabled but prerequisite dbus-1 package not found. Use --with-shared-modules='!vfs_snapper' to disable vfs_snapper support.
(complete log in /home/tom/samba-4.16.2/bin/config.log)
I have looked and it looks like the dbus-1 is supposed to be part of the dbus package, but I show it is already installed and there is no package dbus-1 or dbus1

When building things from source, the devel packages are almost always required.
