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

[Tyler Lytle]

Thank you, Boris. I was able to successfully build and install ODB 2.5.0. I
was unfamiliar with build2 but now I am understanding that it is basically
a package manager and a build tool rolled into one. I think I can take it
from here. I appreciate your time and help.
