Sorry, I meant to leave a note about this. Rocky/RHEL 8 does not provide utf8proc, AFAIK. You have to build and install it yourself for now. Packaging utf8proc is one of the things on my todo list.

Also, FYI, you have to disable Hello auth on Rocky 8, since it doesn't support openssl 3.

[dmulder]

Here are instructions for installing utf8proc:

wget https://github.com/JuliaStrings/utf8proc/archive/refs/tags/v2.6.1.tar.gz -O utf8proc-2.6.1.tar.gz
mkdir -p utf8proc-rocky8
tar -xvf utf8proc-2.6.1.tar.gz -C utf8proc-rocky8 --strip-components=1
cd utf8proc-rocky8
make && sudo make install

There is actually a(n) utf8proc RPM. It doesn't seem to have the right symbols in it though?

Hrm, what version is it?

2.6.1-3.module+el8.7.0+1065+42200b2e

Well that's strange. That's the same version I'm building with. I recall now that the issue I had was that el8 doesn't package the utf8proc devel package, so I'm unable to build against it (no header files, etc). So I fetch the tar and build it myself for that reason.

I'll have to test this myself and see if I can track down the cause.

[tastle73]

I "sort of" figured this out. There is something about the RPM version that is different than the manually compiled one you had me do. The manually built and installed one works, but then I have to "nodeps" install the himmelblau package. You mentioned there not being a -devel package in RL, but there is actually.

What repo do you find the devel package in? I wasn't able to find it.

[dmulder]

I think there is a bug in yum. I can see the packages here:
http://downloads.rockylinux.org/pub/rocky/8.10/PowerTools/x86_64/os/Packages/u/

The utf8proc packages in this repo have a different naming scheme than the other packages. Perhaps this is causing a problem?

If I add this repo and update, yum doesn't see them. I can enable devel packages, and then I see an old version of utf8proc-devel, but I can't install it because utf8proc is newer.

[dmulder]

Ah, there are some garbage characters in the package filename. No wonder yum can't find them. I've reported this to a guy I know at Rocky Linux.
Meanwhile I'll implement some workaround.

[dmulder]

AH, it's filtered out by a module. Sorry, I'm very unfamiliar with EL distros.
