[OpenAFS] error in compiling openafs 1.6.24 on CentOS 8.3

[Giovanni Bracco]

I have tried to compile openafs-1.6.24 on CentOS 8.3, kernel 
4.18.0-240.22.1.el8_3.x86_64.

The build terminates with

fatal error: rpc/types.h: No such file or directory
  #include "rpc/types.h"
           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~


Any  suggestions?

Giovanni

The error is generated when running the script

https://www.eneagrid.enea.it/afs/compile_install_OpenAFS1624_Centos8_v1.sh

  similar to the scripts that work well for CEntOS7 Openafs 1.6.24 / 
1.8,7 and CentOS 8, Openafs 1.8.7
