Issues with Installing MarkLogic on RHEL EC2(Amazon Linux) Instance - Failed Dependencies

Question

Hello everyone,

I am trying to install MarkLogic 11.2.0 on my RHEL-based EC2 instance using the following command:

```
sudo rpm -ivh MarkLogic-11.2.0-rhel.x86_64.rpm
```
Even tried so that it could download all the dependency on its own:

```
sudo yum -y install MarkLogic-11.2.0-rhel.x86_64.rpm
sudo dnf install MarkLogic-11.2.0-rhel.x86_64.rpm
```

However, I am encountering the following error related to failed dependencies:

```
error: Failed dependencies:
    gdb is needed by MarkLogic-11.2.0-rhel.x86_64
    libnsl.so.1()(64bit) is needed by MarkLogic-11.2.0-rhel.x86_64
    lsb-core-amd64 is needed by MarkLogic-11.2.0-rhel.x86_64
```

The main issue is the lsb-core-amd64 dependency, which I am not able to download to my EC2. I have tried several solution provided by GPT but none are working and there is little to no support online as no one seem to have encountered this issue.

Can anyone guide me on how to resolve these dependency issues? Any help or pointers to relevant documentation would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Is it RHEL or Amazon Linux that is running on the EC2?

if it's RHEL then according to https://developer.marklogic.com/products/support-matrix/ version 11.x is supported on RHEL 7 & 8 but not 9, and there's no mention of support on Amazon Linux.

[This link for RHEL 7](https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/installation-guide/en/appendix--packages-by-linux-platform/red-hat-enterprise-linux-7/marklogic-server.html) and [this link for RHEL 8](https://docs.marklogic.com/guide/installation-guide/en/appendix--packages-by-linux-platform/red-hat-enterprise-linux-8/marklogic-server.html) describes that `lsb-core-amd64` is in the **redhat-lsb-core** package.

As per Red Hat this isn't available in RHEL 9 https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6973382 but there is a `lsb-release` package in the EPEL repository, which may help.
