Hi,

we are trying to install json-c as dynamic library to our project. we are using the below command to install the dynamic library.

" yum -y install json-c-devel ".

But we observed json-c version is a little older. Please find the details below.

It looks to me like the pre-packaged version of json-c (i.e. 0.11-4.el7_0) on your system is terribly out of date.

Based on the version you mention, I'm guessing you're on CentOS 7? If so, per their FAQ you're unlikely to get an "officially" built package.

I think your options are either to build and install from source, or upgrade the entire OS (e.g. to CentOS 9 Stream, but even that only has json-c 0.14, which is 2+ years old already).
