I am aiming at building the pgBackRest package for rhel8 environment based on the pgBackRest manual. Which starts with some errors on installing some build dependencies
yum install make gcc postgresql10-devel openssl-devel libxml2-devel lz4-devel libzstd-devel bzip2-devel libyaml-devel
After having replaced the unknown to dnf packages postgresql10-devel (with postgresql-server-devel & libyaml-devel (with libyaml) as alternatives I still am stuck with the build.

configure: error: library 'yaml' is required
the closing error sounds a bit like libyaml, but as I have this installed I can't make much sense if it.
Can anybody kindly advise on how to get going with this?
