Hi Jukka,
this is a unfortunate move. You may have to create a custom package,
possibly inspired from src.rpm from recent Fedora
(https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/gdal). I see Markus Neteler did one
for GDAL 3.0.4 for RHEL 7 in
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/neteler/GDAL/
Or I assume that you may install it also from conda-forge. I believe
their Linux binaries should run on RHEL 8.
Actually, quickly checking with AlmaLinux 8, a free clone of RHEL 8:
# docker run --rm -it almalinux:8
# dnf install wget
# wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
# sh Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh # answer to default questions
with [Enter]
# source /root/miniconda3/bin/activate
# conda install -c conda-forge gdal
# gdalinfo --version
GDAL 3.8.3, released 2024/01/04
Or if you only use command line utilities, use Docker images
PS: IT policies are weird. It is paradoxical to trust more an outside
source for binaries rather than building your own from source...

Hi,
The newest GDAL in the official RHEL repo is 3.4.3, released
2022-04-22. There used to be GDAL 3.7 available from the PostgreSQL
repo https://yum.postgresql.org/repopackages/ and we have been using
that, but the version was removed recently. Some other user was
unhappy as well and created a bug
Bug #7943: Providers missing from pgdg-common for GDAL 3.7
(RHEL/CentOS/AlmaLinux 8) - PostgreSQL YUM Repository - Redmine -
PostgreSQL community <https://redmine.postgresql.org/issues/7943>
That user got this feedback:
“Why did you install GDAL 3.7? The packages are in the repo, but they
were never required by any released GIS suite. I even removed them
from git a couple of weeks ago:
https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgrpms.git;a=commitdiff;h=059f17f664ab093af35389dc7ec7b62c5a9f3fe2
<https://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/?p=pgrpms.git;a=commitdiff;h=059f17f664ab093af35389dc7ec7b62c5a9f3fe2>
Commit comment: gdal35 and gdal37: Remove from the repo. Not used in
any packages.
By our agency’s IT policy compiling GDAL by ourselves is not possible.
Can anyone suggest other acceptable means for getting at least GDAL
3.7 for RHEL 8?
