3.7.3 to 4.1.1 Upgrade Issues. (RHEL 9.4)

[bytelock-id]

I've got an issue right out of the gate upgrading to 4.1.1 from 3.7.3 looks like an issue with some missing files and psycopg this is a production RHEL 9.4 machine with the minimums installed required. Just reading some of the others out there having issues with upgrades I'm not sure the direction of the issue since most folks are running ubuntu and not RHEL 9.4 from what I could see.

It looks like you're missing the development libraries for PostgreSQL. Try yum install libpq-devel and then run the upgrade script again.

[bytelock-id]

I had to install both postgresql-devel and python3.11-devel as Python.h was also missing.

dnf install postgresql-devel
dnf install python3.11-devel

It did upgrade after these two packages were installed. Hopefully this will give some help to RHEL folks.
