I'm trying to install libvirt-python
version 8.4.0 on Rocky Linux 9, but I'm encountering an error during the installation process. Despite having installed all the necessary libvirt
related packages, pkg-config
cannot find the required libvirt
configuration files.
Error Message:

Steps Taken:
libvirt
libvirt-client
libvirt-libs
Question:
Are there specific packages for development files in Rocky Linux 9 that I might be missing? How can I correctly configure pkg-config
to find libvirt
on Rocky Linux 9?
Thank you in advance for any help or insights you can provide!
You need to install 'libvirt-devel', which provides the development header files
