Description:
After installing mysql-devel, /usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.a
 was not installed. 

# rpm -ql mysql-devel
/usr/bin/mysql_config
/usr/include/mysql
/usr/include/mysql/errmsg.h
/usr/include/mysql/field_types.h
/usr/include/mysql/my_command.h
/usr/include/mysql/my_compress.h
/usr/include/mysql/my_list.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql
/usr/include/mysql/mysql.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql/client_plugin.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql/plugin_auth_common.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql/udf_registration_types.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql_com.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql_time.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysql_version.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysqld_error.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysqlx_ername.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysqlx_error.h
/usr/include/mysql/mysqlx_version.h
/usr/lib/.build-id
/usr/lib/.build-id/9f/c2691722b1edd4331d1b93cdc49719ff3edb88
/usr/lib64/mysql/libmysqlclient.so
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/mysqlclient.pc
/usr/share/aclocal/mysql.m4
/usr/share/man/man1/mysql_config.1.gz

How to repeat:
Execute:
yum install yum-utils
and you will find that static library libmysqlclient.a is missing

Hi Mr. Ducos,

Thank you for your bug report.

However, we do not see whether you have installed our package from dev.mysql.com or a package made by some third party.

Please, go to dev.mysql.com and try to download the desired RPM package for 8.0.34.

Can't repeat.

My mistake, known old issue that I forgot due to OS mix.
I was installing OS package, not mysql.
