Error: librdkafka++.so.1: cannot open shared object file

Reposting of #394, as it was closed by the issue author without being fixed.

When trying to use run on Heroku (and I’m guessing other linuxed-powered server environments), the following error is triggered trying to require node-rdkafka@2.3.2:

Error: librdkafka++.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    at Object.Module._extensions..node (module.js:681:18)
    at Module.load (module.js:565:32)

    at Module._compile (module.js:652:30)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:663:10)

The author of #394 suggested adding an Aptfile to your project, however, this is non-customary for npm packages. That said, I can’t exactly suggest a solution myself, being really unfamiliar with how Node.js binds to C/C++, the build systems work, etc.

I had the same Issue on Ubuntu 18.04. This worked for me:

sudo apt install librdkafka-dev
reinstall node-rdkafka

We temporrarly solved this issue by supplying the following env var: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<application path>/node_modules/node-rdkafka/build/deps Yes, it ain’t pretty
