I got this error every time i´m trying to install libpq-devel thats needed for psycopg2.

Seems this package's repo (comes with powertools repo) is not enabled by default on AlmaLinux 8.

To enable the repo;

dnf install epel-release
dnf config-manager --set-enabled powertools

Now it should display under the repo list;

dnf repolist

Now it should be ready to install

dnf install perl-IPC-Run
