General advice: contemporary packaging rules for most RH-like distributions
define that tools needed to compile applications which use some library XYZ
should be in package XYZ-devel while package XYZ usually contains only
shared library as run-time part neccessary to run application.
So, if you want to build something which uses, f.e. libz, you should
install libz-devel as well.
