Do you want this on CentOS 8, Ubuntu 20.04, or something else? The help we can give you will vary quite considerably depending on the distro you use; and, as you point out, RedHat-derived and Debian-derived distributions are very different.
For CentOS, do you have the advanced virtualization repo enabled? https://centos.pkgs.org/8-stream/centos-extras-x86_64/centos-release-advanced-virtualization-1.0-3.el8.noarch.rpm.html Cheers, Peter On Sun, 24 Oct 2021 at 20:31, <ad...@foundryserver.com> wrote: > Hello again, > > > > So I have been struggling to compile the libvirt newest version 7.8.0.
