How To Install glibc-devel on CentOS 8
Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install glibc-devel on CentOS 8.
What is glibc-devel
The glibc-devel package contains the object files necessary for developing programs which use the standard C libraries (which are used by nearly all programs). If you are developing programs which will use the standard C libraries, your system needs to have these standard object files available in order to create the executables. Install glibc-devel if you are going to develop programs which will use the standard C libraries. glibc-devel 2.28 151.el8 x86_64 1.0 M glibc-2.28-151.el8.src.rpm baseos Object files for development using standard C libraries. http LGPLv2+ and LGPLv2+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ and GPLv2+ with exceptions and BSD and Inner-Net and ISC and Public Domain and GFDL The glibc-devel package contains the object files necessary for developing programs which use the standard C libraries (which are used by nearly all programs). If you are developing programs which will use the standard C libraries, your system needs to have these standard object files available in order to create the executables. Install glibc-devel if you are going to develop programs which will use the standard C libraries.
We can use yum or dnf to install glibc-devel on CentOS 8. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install glibc-devel.
Install glibc-devel on CentOS 8 Using dnf
Update yum database with dnf using the following command.
sudo dnf makecache --refresh
The output should look something like this:
CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream 43 kB/s | 4.3 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS 65 kB/s | 3.9 kB 00:00
CentOS Linux 8 - ContinuousRelease 43 kB/s | 3.0 kB 00:00

Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 24 kB/s | 8.5 kB 00:00
Metadata cache created.
After updating yum database, We can install glibc-devel using dnf by running the following command:
sudo dnf -y install glibc-devel
