in your first mail you wrote:

and that tutorial suggests install "mod_security" package:

`sudo yum install mod_security`

Therefore I don't see the reason why did you installed these
development tools and why did you installed ModSecurity v3...

I don't have any CentOS (ANY) system, just downloaded the package
from here:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/mod_security-2.9.2-8.el8.x86_64.rpm

and found mod_security.conf with name
'/etc/httpd/conf.d/mod_security.conf'.
