Installation instructions don't work

[G-Ragghianti]

Trying to follow the instructions here: https://dgpu-docs.intel.com/installation-guides/redhat/redhat-8.6.html

There is an error in the step to install the runtime packages (no package providing llvm 13). I think that the instructions are leaving off a step. Here is a Dockerfile that reproduces the error:

FROM rockylinux:8.6
RUN dnf install -y 'dnf-command(config-manager)'
RUN dnf config-manager --add-repo https://repositories.intel.com/graphics/rhel/8.6/flex/intel-graphics.repo

RUN dnf install -y \

RUN dnf install -y --refresh \
  intel-igc-opencl-devel \
  level-zero-devel \
  intel-gsc-devel \
  libmetee-devel \
  level-zero-devel

And the error:

Step 7/9 : RUN dnf install -y   intel-opencl intel-media intel-mediasdk libmfxgen1 libvpl2  level-zero intel-level-zero-gpu mesa-dri-drivers mesa-vulkan-drivers   mesa-vdpau-drivers libdrm mesa-libEGL mesa-libgbm mesa-libGL   mesa-libxatracker libvpl-tools intel-metrics-discovery   intel-metrics-library intel-igc-core intel-igc-cm   libva libva-utils intel-gmmlib intel-cmemu libmetee intel-gsc

Can you verify you are on Rocky Linux 8.6 and not rolled to 8.7?

cat /etc/rocky-release

If you didn't lock it to 8.6, it will have floated to 8.7 which has llvm-14 and not llvm-13, which the 8.6 packages depend on.

Rocky Linux 8.7:

Rocky Linux 8.6:

Yes, as you can see in the Dockerfile, the "dnf upgrade" that the instructions told me to do has upgraded the OS version to 8.7. Maybe it shouldn't tell people to do that or it should tell them how to fix the version at 8.6?
