Xmlrpc-c-c++ and xmlrpc-c-client++

[babalu]

On Rocky 8.10 there is only libxmlrpc_client.so.3.51 but I have a c++ project that worked on 8.6 and 8.8 that uses xmlrpc-c-client++. This is also for xmlrpc-c and xmlrpc-c-c++ libs, the later missing.
So I’m thinking on copying the lib from 8.6 and use it on 8.10. Create the link and hope the program reads it.
Was this announced on any release note, can’t find any info about this. Thanks.

What package exactly is missing? Did you disable powertools?

Yes, as I’m trying to run those programs in Red Hat and Rocky, but indeed Rocky has those. Red Hat does not, I read that I have to enable codeready repos.
I install the programs both on Red Hat and Rocky, as I’m trying to find an alternative to RH. I noticed first on RH the missing packages, that were present in previous versions.

So bottom line is, Rocky still better for me but my company still uses RH. Still trying to make RH and Rocky as close as possible, but it has worked for me very well, as single server and clusters, that I find Rocky is a little faster than RH.

So for the Rocky server, the problem is solved. I have now enabled crb, epel and extras.

I did “dnf config-manager --enable crb” also for extras and epel. It has now xmlrpc-c-c++ and client++.

A side note, I had a few RH clusters for testing at my lab but not anymore. My last cluster testing server were all Rocky and even the cluster interface looks faster. I did also try Almalinux but Alma does not even has the same interface as RH. Anyway, Rocky has been good to me. I have to get RH out of the door…

Now, let me find out how to enable that codeready… subscription crap…

Thanks for the quick reply.
