Unable to find libudev.so

[MrByron]

I'm trying to compile an application which requires libudev.so

It is my understanding that such files (endinging in just .so) are normally simple soft links to the numbered version such as libudev.so.1 and are provided by the *-devel package

ie

the package freeglut provides libglut.so.3
the package freeglut-devel provides libglut.so which is a softlink to libglut.so.3

However in the case of libudev.so I have not been able to find any package that provides it. libudev.so.1 is provided by systemd-libs, but there doesn't appear to be any systemd-libs-devel.

I went ahead and created the softlink myself and the install completed succesfully. However I'd be curious to know when there is and isn't an associated *-devel package and if I've done the correct thing creating that soft link myself.

Thanks

Run yum provides '*/libudev.so' then install the package name it lists.
