Ah, so standard RHEL/CentOS practice is to provide libraries for internal dependencies without supporting building against them? I hadn't realised. I'm used to every package in a distro having a devel. It used to be there, so I don't know what changed. Maybe the move from CentOS8 to Streams? I might request the devel package, but given that I'm just building a small Twitter app with a low CentOS-based audience then it seems like quite a large commitment to put on CentOS to support building against the library.
