How to compile emacs 26.2 with gnutls on Centos 7?

I try to compile Emacs 26.2 on Centos 7. So I run

./configure

But the script complains:

configure: error: The following required libraries were not found:
     gnutls
Maybe some development libraries/packages are missing?

However yum tells me that gnutls is already installed:

Package gnutls-3.3.29-9.el7_6.x86_64 already installed and latest version

What else do I miss to compile Emacs with gnutls support?

Solution

  • Try installing the package gnutls-devel. While the gnutls package contains the files needed to run a program that uses GnuTLS, gnutls-devel is needed to compile a program using GnuTLS.
