uhal yum installation error, alma 9

[LawrenceGibbons]

Hi all,

I am trying to get my g-2 DAQ teststand system upgraded from SL7 to ALMA9, so am working on getting the latest uhal software installed. I've build pugixml 1.13 and had the installer install in both /usr/lib64 and /usr/local/lib64. Unfortunately, when I try the yum install as described at https://ipbus.web.cern.ch/doc/user/html/software/install/yum.html, I stillI keep getting the error

Problem 1: cannot install the best candidate for the job

• nothing provides libpugixml.so.1()(64bit) needed by cactuscore-uhal-uhal-2.8.12-1.el9.gcc11_3_1.x86_64 from ipbus-sw-updates

Could you let me know where the dependency specifications expect pugixml to reside?

I think you might not have enabled the EPEL repository, which is where the pugixml RPM comes from. Can you try running dnf install epel-release, and then re-run the uHAL yum install commands?

BTW, you shouldn't need to build pugixml - you should be able to just use the RPM from the EPEL repo.
