我似乎无法让rdkafka与confuent-kafka-go程序包一起玩

Question

this is my first question on StackOverflow. Usually I find a solution from someone else's question but this time the internet does not seem to have many answers.

So I'm getting this message after using go get and every time I try and compile and run my application.

# pkg-config --cflags rdkafka 
Package rdkafka was not found in the pkg-config
search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `rdkafka.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'rdkafka', required by 
'virtual:world', not found

I searched the issues on the github page for the repo and found one thread related to this, but none of those solutions seem to work for me. I'm running fedora 26, I have go 1.9 installed.

I've tried:

• dnf install
• Compiling from source as instructed on their README
• yum install because I became desperate.
• Downloading and installing from the RPM

Has anyone come accross this and maybe have an idea of how I can fix it?

Answer 1

I suggest that you install librdkafka from Confluent's repository as described in their documentation. But I think that you'll need to build librdkafka from source RPMs, like I'm doing for Ubuntu.
