[SOLVED] How to install FTGL on AWS Linux 2

Issue

I have an EC2 instance running so I can compile some c++ programs to run on lambda. I am trying to build opencascade on my EC2 instance and am running into the following error:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
FTGL_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)
   used as include directory in directory /home/ec2-user/oce/adm/cmake/TKOpenGl
FTGL_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)
    linked by target "TKOpenGl" in directory /home/ec2-user/oce/adm/cmake/TKOpenGl

I fixed similar errors by installing the required library, but I can't seem to find a yum package for FTGL. I've tried the following:

sudo yum install ftgl
sudo yum install ftgl-dev
sudo yum install ftgl-devel
sudo yum install libftgl-dev

I've also searched with no success:

yum search *ftgl*

Where can I find this library to install it on my EC2 instance?

Solution

The package in EPEL. To enable it and install on Amazon Linux 2:

sudo yum install -y https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm

sudo yum-config-manager --enable epel

sudo yum install ftgl-devel
