I am trying to find libssh2.h
In the past I installed libssh2-devel
I have libssh2 installed. I have tried
yum install libssh2-devel - nothing found yum provides "*/libssh2.h" - nothing found yum search libssh2.h - nothing found.
Thoughts ?
libssh2-devel is not shipped in RHEL-8 in any of its channels and isn't in CentOS-8 currently to stay on 'par' with it. This is because the library and package have 'problems' and the package maintainers would prefer people to use libssh over libssh2 if at all possible. The package may be removed from EL-8.x in the future because it causes a lot of difficulties.. if that happens then someone can maintain it outside of CentOS in EPEL or something similar. If it does not get removed from EL-8.x, then it might be shipped in some sort of repository where it is for build-use only even less than PowerTools (aka there are no guarentees it works, it won't get updated by Red Hat and thus down to CentOS, etc etc. ) That is part of the larger discussion of unshipped packages which is in a different thread I think.
