I am trying to install sqlite dev and other libraries in a centos machine with cpanel, to be able to compile an application. I am more acquainted with debian than centos, and I know the libraries I need are:
libsqlite3-dev libkrb5-dev libssl-dev libcurl3-dev libboost-all-dev For what I could find online, the corresponding package in centos for libsqlite3-dev is sqlite-dev.
However, when I run yum install sqlite-devel I get the following message:
No package sqlite-devel available I don't know if this is related to cpanel, if repositories are missing from the installation, and since my experience with yum is far lesser than with apt, I am quite lost here.
I have searched for the package yum search sqlite and all I get is this:
cpanel-perl-522-DBD-SQLite.x86_64 : CPAN module - Self Contained SQLite RDBMS in a DBI Driver cpanel-perl-522-DBD-SQLite2.x86_64 : CPAN module - Self Contained RDBMS in a DBI Driver (sqlite 2.x) ea-apr-util-sqlite.x86_64 : APR utility library SQLite DBD driver freeradius-sqlite.x86_64 : SQLite support for freeradius golang-googlecode-sqlite-devel.x86_64 : Trivial sqlite3 binding for Go perl-DBD-SQLite.x86_64 : SQLite DBI Driver cpanel-perl-522-CPAN-SQLite.x86_64 : CPAN module - maintain and search a minimal CPAN database sqlite.x86_64 : Library that implements an embeddable SQL database engine Also, this is the output of yum repolist

What I know is that I have several centos + cpanel servers, and I just did a yum search sqlite-devel in another one, and it shows the package in the base repo.
I have also noticed that the offending server is not updated. Can this be a reason?
Any other hints?

Late response, but perhaps this might help others who eventually stumble on this question looking for the same answer.
The sqlite3 development package can be found in the epel repo. EPEL
Easy to install on CentOS -> yum install epel-release
$ yum list | grep sqlite
libsqlite3x-devel.x86_64 20071018-20.el7 @epel
Similar list/grep can be done for the other libraries you are looking to install, although the names are most likely just slightly different (list edited for clarity).
$ yum list | grep boost
boost-devel.x86_64 1.53.0-26.el7 base
For my case, I had to do yum install libsqlite3x-devel.x86_64
For Centos and Fedora with dnf package manager you can use "dnf search" followed by a keyword to search, in this case "sqlite"
dnf search sqlite | grep devel For RPM based systems(Redhat / CentOS / Fedora) "-devel" is the suffice used to identify package with development files, usually refered as development tools, so I use grep to filter the result list.
These commands return me:
qlite-devel.x86_64 : Development tools for the sqlite3 embeddable SQL database engine If you don't see the 3 explicit neither in the name or description you can get the info that confirm you this with "dnf info" followed by the package name:
dnf info sqlite-devel which return more info like the version, license, etc.
Note:
Of course for Fedora is possible that sqlite package comes available due to the fact that fedora has it in its repo otherwise you would have to enable Epel repository as described by Eric in Epel
