confluent-kafka-go: Could not determine kind of name for C.RD_KAFKA_EVENT_STATS

pkg-config will need to find the rdkafka.pc file that is installed when you do ‘make install’ in librdkafka, the location depends on ./configure --prefix and defaults to /usr/local. It might be the case that /usr/local is not in your PKG_CONFIG_PATH, the easiest fix is to install librdkafka into /usr, like this:

$ ./configure --prefix /usr
$ make
$ sudo make install

@mewwts The master branch of the Go client requires the master branch of librdkafka (the development is kept in synch).

So you have two options:

• use the latest release of the Go client (v0.9.4) with a recent release of librdkafka (>=v0.9.4)
• remove any installed versions of librdkafka, clone librdkafka master and build and install it.

That looks like it is finding librdkafka >0.11.0 when compiling (rdkafka.h header file) but not when linking (library file).

I suggest removing all installed versions of librdkafka from your system, using both your package manager and by searching for rdkafka.h and librdkafka.so*.

Then build and install librdkafka 0.11.3 (latest version) and then rebuild the Go client (go clean -i ./... first).

@liaoyizhe Make sure to install librdkafka v0.11.0 as instructed here: https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-go/#installing-librdkafka

Thanks, i got working 👍

Hi,… You need to build and install librdkafka master, or use go client release 0.9.4
