I want to install a recent version of graphviz (e.g. Graphviz version 12) on a RHEL 7 system.

When I look at RPMfind I can only see rpms for Fedora. Where do i find a RPM for RHEL 7?

    In other words if you check this exhaustive list of official sources, there's no official RPM for modern graphviz on old RHEL. You will have to build that package yourself, or work on a more modern release of RHEL, or need to work in a container. Commented Oct 26, 2024 at 8:49
  • and, this addresses exactly that situation: I need a package for my version of RHEL/EPEL/CentOS/Fedora, but it's only packaged for other versions of Redhatoids Commented Oct 26, 2024 at 8:51
  • @MarcusMüller That's probably the best answer. Makes total sense. Will try to build Graphviz myself on that machine. Commented Oct 27, 2024 at 11:14
  • in the latest RHEL-8.10 as of this date, it is graphviz-2.40.1-39.el8.x86_64 and it comes from the rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms repository. Commented Oct 28, 2024 at 12:26
  • @ron version 2.40 is way too old. There are some significant Unicode bugs in there which are fixed in version 10.0.1 - Building from source was the way to go! Commented Oct 28, 2024 at 23:34

@MarcusMüller got me with his comment to the right approach: Building Graphviz myself.

I couldn't use version 12 as I wished for (because it requires C++ 17 features which RHEL 7 does not provide with its default repos), but Graphviz version 10 (which is still reasonably recent) I was able to install.
