[Rick83600]

Hello guys,

I try to install node-rdkafka

$ npm i node-rdkafka

And get the following error

CC(target) Release/obj.target/librdkafka/deps/librdkafka/src/rdkafka_sasl.o ../deps/librdkafka/src/rdkafka_sasl.c:35:23: fatal error: sasl/sasl.h: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type #include <sasl/sasl.h> ^ compilation terminated. deps/librdkafka.target.mk:147: recipe for target 'Release/obj.target/librdkafka/deps/librdkafka/src/rdkafka_sasl.o' failed make: *** [Release/obj.target/librdkafka/deps/librdkafka/src/rdkafka_sasl.o] Error 1 make: Leaving directory '/home/tristan/Documents/node_modules/node-rdkafka/build' gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: `make` failed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:276:23) gyp ERR! stack at emitTwo (events.js:106:13) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:191:7) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:215:12) gyp ERR!
