[odb-users] Cannot Compile ODB Compiler on RHEL 8.5

[Tyler Lytle]

Hello Boris,

Thank you for the reply. I'm sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I
got caught up in some other work then I caught Covid so I was out of
commission for a bit.

I got the following output:

[tlytle at localhost odb]$ g++ --print-file-name=plugin
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/plugin

[tlytle at localhost plugin]$ cd /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/plugin/
[tlytle at localhost plugin]$ ls
annobin.so  annobin.so.0  annobin.so.0.0.0  libcc1plugin.so
 libcc1plugin.so.0  libcc1plugin.so.0.0.0  libcp1plugin.so
 libcp1plugin.so.0  libcp1plugin.so.0.0.0

The include/ directory is actually up one directory level as shown below:

[tlytle at localhost plugin]$ cd ..
[tlytle at localhost 8]$ ls
32           crtbeginT.o  crtfastmath.o      crtoffloadtable.o  crtprec80.o
       libasan.so    libgcc_eh.a  libgomp.a     libitm.spec
 libquadmath.so     libstdc++.so       libubsan.so
crtbegin.o   crtend.o     crtoffloadbegin.o  crtprec32.o        include
       libatomic.so  libgcc_s.so  libgomp.so    liblsan_preinit.o
 libsanitizer.spec  libtsan_preinit.o  plugin
crtbeginS.o  crtendS.o    crtoffloadend.o    crtprec64.o
 libasan_preinit.o  libgcc.a      libgcov.a    libgomp.spec  liblsan.so
    libstdc++fs.a      libtsan.so         rpmver

I hope this helps. Thank you for your time.
