Yes, there are many missing -devel packages. It's possible that they didn't fit on the media though,

I've run into two of these myself: libedit and libgd. Both of these are living, useful libraries, without direct replacements.[*]
Clearly there are RPMs shipped in the distro that require these libraries. I guess Red Hat are saying that they don't intend that you develop your *own* software against these libraries.
[*] (libedit is API-compatible with readline, but most apps that use it do so in order to avoid the GPL. There are many alternatives to GD, but none are API-compatible.) _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
