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:

1. I have installed the following packages which I thought might include the necessary development files:
   • libvirt
   • libvirt-client
   • libvirt-libs
   • etc.

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!
