CentOS - May 2022 - building ngx_cache_purge module on CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core).

Hi,

I am referring to https://github.com/FRiCKLE/ngx_cache_purge/ and running
the open source nginx version: nginx/1.20.2 on CentOS Linux release
7.9.2009 (Core). When i trying to compile the ngx_cache_purge_module.c I am
encountering fatal error: nginx.h: No such file or directory

I can only guess but I think there is no -devel package available. What I
found is nginx-mod-devel and it includes the nginx.h file. Maybe you need
this to compile.

Try "yum search nginx" instead and examine its output. You'll find
your
answer.
