I apologize if I wasn't clear. It's not the issue of the
releases/distributions as opposed to which packages are installed from
the distribution.

I suspect the -devel packages are in the development section of
RedHat's package list. Yes, loading in the specific versioned
.so-x.y.z file is will work, albeit not robustly in the face of
version number upgrades.

I believe they are in the distribution, just not installed on your
system.

I suspect it's not a problem during installation, but that the
installer program did not select the devel packages during your
installation.

I believe if you install that package on your RedHat 9 system, you'll
have your symbolic link which will never change numbers as newer
versions may be installed.
