Package 'libibverbs', required by 'virtual:world', not found about rpma HOT 6 CLOSED

@graceleeis what Linux distribution&version did you encounter this issue on?

from rpma.

An inspiration for publishing this issue was the observation no.2 (the dev(el) package does not provide pkg-config files).

For the first time, it was identified on Fedora 29. Which may or may not be important since the issue happened using Mellanox OFED 4.7-3.2.9.0-fc29 (which is prepared for a specific distribution and release but it is distributed separately). But the issue also occurs when rdma-core-devel packages are used. Fedora 29 currently provides 16.2-3.fc28 build of this package. Quick lookup shows this package does not provide *.pc files at the same time providing e.g. a regular set of *.h files.

$ rpm -ql rdma-core-devel | grep \\.pc
$ # no *.pc files provided
$ rpm -ql rdma-core-devel | grep \\.h
/usr/include/infiniband/acm.h
/usr/include/infiniband/acm_prov.h
/usr/include/infiniband/arch.h
/usr/include/infiniband/cm.h
/usr/include/infiniband/cm_abi.h
/usr/include/infiniband/ib.h
/usr/include/infiniband/kern-abi.h
/usr/include/infiniband/mlx4dv.h
/usr/include/infiniband/mlx5dv.h
/usr/include/infiniband/opcode.h
/usr/include/infiniband/sa-kern-abi.h
/usr/include/infiniband/sa.h
/usr/include/infiniband/tm_types.h
/usr/include/infiniband/umad.h
/usr/include/infiniband/umad_cm.h
/usr/include/infiniband/umad_sa.h
/usr/include/infiniband/umad_sa_mcm.h
/usr/include/infiniband/umad_sm.h
/usr/include/infiniband/umad_str.h
/usr/include/infiniband/umad_types.h
/usr/include/infiniband/verbs.h
/usr/include/rdma/rdma_cma.h
/usr/include/rdma/rdma_cma_abi.h
/usr/include/rdma/rdma_verbs.h
/usr/include/rdma/rsocket.h

For comparison rdma-core-devel-20.1-3.fc30 (provided for Fedora 30) has *.pc files (source).

Which makes perfect sense since the *.pc files are available from rdma-core v20.1. Please see the reference above.

Hi guys,
Do you support Centos 9 stream?

from rpma.

We used to, but we stopped on Mar 1, 2022 (946c8d2) because there is no official docker image of CentOS Stream, see:
https://github.com/pmem/rpma/blob/main/.github/workflows/nightly_experimental.yml#L38-L40
https://hub.docker.com/_/centos

However we still have a Dockerfile for CentOS Stream in the repo, but it may not work since it has not been run nor validated from a long time: https://github.com/pmem/rpma/blob/main/utils/docker/images/Dockerfile.centos-stream

We support Rocky Linux 9, so it should not be difficult to make CentOS 9 Stream work as well.

@ETaradayko What problem do you have? Did you get the "Package 'libibverbs', required by 'virtual:world', not found" error?
