Hi.
I tried "yum install centos-release-scl-rh" before but it gives the below error.
------
# yum install centos-release-scl-rh
Loaded plugins: extras_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd
213 packages excluded due to repository priority protections
No package centos-release-scl-rh available.
Error: Nothing to do
--------

Postgres 9.6 on this machine (Amazon Linux 2) is installed via PGDG repo, so I tried installing Postgres 13 as well, and I can see it has installed but only one more package I need that is "postgresql13-devel.x86_64" which needs another dependency " llvm-toolset-7-clang >= 4.0.1" that is not available from the same repo.

Note that the PGDG repositories are not supported on Amazon Linux.
https://www.postgresql.org/download/linux/redhat/ has a list of
supported platforms for them.

On CentOS, which is, you need to run:
yum install centos-release-scl-rh

To get access to the required packages. I have no idea if the same
thing exists on Amazon Linux, but it might be worth a try.
