devtoolset-8 was only released a short while ago. The linked installation instructions may be of use. However, your question pertains to CentOS, and this does not yet appear to have been made available yet. You can see some evidence of it being build for CentOS here, but it's not been updated for the final release yet.
You could ask on the SCL mailing list for an ETA, or wait until it appears in its final form. In the meantime, you could download the RPMs from koji directly.
Use devtoolset-8 on Centos/RHEL for Node.js 14+
Installing devtoolset-X
yum - Centos 7 gcc 8 installation - Unix & Linux Stack Exchange
linux - Can not find required gcc version after devtoolset installation - Stack Overflow
devtoolset is called gcc-toolset in RHEL8.
The following commands worked for me:
microdnf install -y gcc-toolset-12
scl enable gcc-toolset-12 bash
gcc --version
# gcc (GCC) 12.1.1 20220628 (Red Hat 12.1.1-3)
According to that article, you can check if you have access to Red Hat Software Collections (RHSCL) by running the following command by the root user:
$ su -
# subscription-manager repos --list | egrep rhscl
If you have, enable necessary software repo and then install devtoolset:
# subscription-manager repos --enable rhel-7-server-optional-rpms
# yum install devtoolset-8
On CentOS I can do yum install devtoolset-8 followed by scl enable devtoolset-8 bash so that my paths are setup to use GCC et al packaged with that development toolset.
Is there an equivalent in AlmaLinux?
I am using CentOS 7.9 and I encountered the same problem after following instructions here to install and run gcc 11. I tried launching different versions of gcc and found only devtoolset-9 works, which corresponds to the file devtoolset-9 in /etc/scl/conf/ folder. So I copied devtoolset-9 to devtoolset-11 in the same folder, and gcc 11 gets working.
I ran into the same issue that you are facing and this is how I got it fixed:
- Just want to be careful, you need to exist the Terminal and open a fresh one to start. This way, you are not under any devtoolset's bash.
- Go to /opt/rh folder, run command ls -la to see if you have any devtoolset-* folder there. Let's say you have devtoolset-8, proceed step 2.
- Go to /etc/scl/prefixes folder, if you don't see devtoolset-8 file, you can create a new one as devtoolset-8, and type 1 line: /opt/rh, then save and quit that file.
- Once you are done, you can call: scl enable devtoolset-8 -- bash w/o any error. Good luck
