  • rpc/rpc.h missing - building dovecot for RHEL 8.1

    Posted on

    I am attempting to build the dovecot package from the source code provided for RHEL 8.1. All of the dependencies have been met for the build. While compiling I get the following error. I have queried yum to see what provided /usr/include/rpc/rpc.h and it didn't return any package. From my google searches other seem to have similar issues.

    Does anyone know what RHEL package has rpc/rpc.h?

    rquota_xdr.c:2:10: fatal error: rpc/rpc.h: No such file or directory
    #include
    ^~~~~~~~~~~
    compilation terminated.
