Node-rdkafka: Install Issue file not found with <angled> include

[natemccallum]

I'm getting the following error when trying to run npm install node-rdkafka on Mac High Sierra. I've found a number of similar issues around the node-gyp rebuild but none that match this one. Any ideas?

gcc -MD -MP -gstrict-dwarf -O2 -fPIC -Wall -Wsign-compare -Wfloat-equal -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -c rdkafka_lz4.c -o rdkafka_lz4.o
rdkafka_lz4.c:32:10: error: 'lz4frame.h' file not found with include; use "quotes" instead

include

     ^~~~~~~~~~~~
     "lz4frame.h"

Do you have LZ4 installed on your machine? Can you check the output of pkg-config to see?

@natemccallum I had the same issue on Sierra 10.12.5. The problem was not present on my Linux machine. Dug a little deeper and found I can even build librdkafka manually in Sierra outside of node-gyp :

cd deps/librdkafka
./configure
make
...success

Which is interesting...

After searching around, looks like it's a configuration issue related to xcode. See below :

Check Original Setting (-p prints the current setting)

xcode-select -p
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Make sure to keep a copy of the original setting in case this change doesn't work for you (or makes things worse) and you need to change it back.

Change it to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools with the following command

sudo xcode-select --switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Run npm install again and it worked for me. Good luck.

Reference that got me going the right direction : https://crystal-lang.org/docs/installation/on_mac_osx_using_homebrew.html
