Hello,

I'm trying to install a fresh Centova Cast v3 instance on AlmaLinux 8, but I’m running into consistent errors during the Liquidsoap installation phase.

⚠️ Issue
The installer fails when compiling the following packages:

fdkaac

pcre

samplerate

taglib

Each failure is caused by this error:

pgsql
Copia
Modifica
pkgconf: unknown option -- personality
Error: command exited with code 1: /usr/bin/pkgconf --personality x86_64-pc-linux-gnu ...
After checking, it seems that the pkgconf binary shipped with AlmaLinux 8 is outdated, and does not support the --personality option required by OPAM when building Liquidsoap and its dependencies.

🛠️ What I’ve Tried
Installed all required development packages: taglib-devel, libsamplerate-devel, fdk-aac-devel, etc.

Confirmed the presence of .pc files under /usr/lib64/pkgconfig

Set PKG_CONFIG_PATH properly

Tried the installation on RockyLinux 8 and Debian as well — same issue

❓ Questions
Is it confirmed that Liquidsoap via OPAM requires pkgconf >= 2.0 or newer for successful compilation?

Is there an official workaround for users running AlmaLinux 8 or RockyLinux 8?
