configure error: Ogg needed! Ogg not found

You may receive the “configure: error: Ogg needed” while installing libogg which indicates some missing devel packages related to Ogg. The complete error message is as follows:

Could not run Ogg test program, checking why... 
The test program compiled, but did not run. 
This usually means that the run-time linker is not finding Ogg 
or finding the wrong version of Ogg. configure: error: Ogg needed!

This requires the installation of libogg and libvorbis devel package which is available with yum. SSH to the server as root and install the packages

# yum install libogg-devel libvorbis libvorbis-devel

Once done, you will be able to install libogg package.
