Why does XRT package fail to install on CentOS for Xilinx Alveo U200?
If the XRT package fails to install on a supported CentOS release for Xilinx Computer Hardware, it is because kernel development headers are missing. The XRT package is missing a dependency on kernel-devel and kernel-headers. Manually install them using yum: * `sudo yum install kernel-headers-\`uname -r\`` * `sudo yum install kernel-devel-\`uname -r\`` Note: Do not run `sudo yum upgrade`. This will update the kernel-headers to an incompatible version.
