Installing librdkafka on Ubuntu 19.10 - apache-kafka

I am trying to build two different applications that both depend on librdkafka. The applications are written in .NET Core and Go.
I have installed the confluent platform using apt, and installed it from the confluent repository. I assume that installing this platform includes librdkafka (and makes it available for .NET and> GO packages).
When i try to build either, i receive two different errors.
For the Go app:
# 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
No package 'rdkafka' found
pkg-config: exit status 1
For the .NET Core app:
System.DllNotFoundException : Failed to load the librdkafka native library.
Stack Trace:
at Confluent.Kafka.Impl.Librdkafka.Initialize(String userSpecifiedPath)
at Confluent.Kafka.Producer`2..ctor(ProducerBuilder`2 builder)
at Confluent.Kafka.ProducerBuilder`2.Build()
Are there any subsequent steps one has to take after installing the confluent platform, to make librdkafka available for applications?

IBM Blockchain platform cannot rebuild native dependencies

I trying to get the IBM Blockchain platform to work in Visual studio code (on Linux), but it keeps coming back with:
Could not rebuild native dependencies Failed to execute command "npm" with arguments
"rebuild, grpc, --target=6.1.5, --runtime=electron, --update-binary, --fallback-to-build, --
target_arch=x64, --dist-url=https://atom.io/download/electron" return code 1. Please ensure
that you have node and npm installed
I have node and npm installed
node -v
v10.17.0
and
npm -v
6.11.3
satisfying the constraints. I have visual studio code version 1.41.1. What could be thie issue?
The problem you are experiencing is described in this issue https://github.com/IBM-Blockchain/blockchain-vscode-extension/issues/1621
The issue is that there are no pre-built versions of grpc used by the fabric node sdk for electron 6 currently and due to changes in newer versions of gcc the grpc node module fails to compile when it falls back to using source because of no pre-built versions
The easiest solution is to downgrade for vscode 1.39 and install the extension.
Alternative options are to install gcc version 7 and make that the default in your linux environment or you could install a version of linux that has gcc version 7 as the default for example ubuntu 18.04 (which would allow grpc to compile from source)

gdcmanon - Requested cryptoraphic library not configured

I am using gdcmanon to anonimize dicom files like the following:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib ./gdcmanon --certificate CA_cert.cer -e ./dump ./dump/anon
But it gives the following error:
Error: In /home/travis/build/malaterre/GDCM/Source/Common/gdcmCryptoFactory.cxx, line 61, function static gdcm::CryptoFactory* gdcm::CryptoFactory::GetFactoryInstance(gdcm::CryptoFactory::CryptoLib)
No crypto factory registered with id 1
Requested cryptoraphic library not configured.
How can I solve this?
The error is because of binaries you use, it looks like SSL dependencies are not satisfied.
As a solution (workaround?), you can get the binaries via apt system. For Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial distribution, there is version 2.6.3 of libgdcm-tools package.
Another possibility is to compile gdcm from scratch, but you need development files of OpenSSL (apt install libssl-dev). Moreover, to use anonymisation with certificates, in CMake system set GDCM_USE_SYSTEM_OPENSSL=YES.

How to deploy a package in another operating system

I have a project written in C++ 14 (compiled in my machine with GCC 6.2) and my machine run on Fedora 26. Now I need to deploy into customer's server that run RedHat 6, and GCC 4.8. I can not change or install new things in this server (except my package). But this server doesn't contain 2 package that required to my project is numactl and hwloc.
If I build these library as static library and import into my project (in Fedora 26), then package these library with my project into a RPM package, will it run on the server.
Is it the best way? I never do this work before.
I'm sorry for my English.
You need to build your package for RedHat 6. Create source rpm (src.rpm) and run:
mock -r epel-6-x86_64 your-package.src.rpm
This way you will get package which can be installed on RHEL6.

Error F_SETLK when building bazel on CentOS 6.5

I am working on building and installing tensorflow on my institution's cluster computer, which is running CentOS 6.5.
Obviously, the first step is building and installing bazel. The build works just fine, but when I try to run the bazel binary, I get the following error:
Error: unexpected result from F_SETLK: Function not implemented
gcc version is 4.7.2
java version is jdk1.8.0_65
edit: I have also tried compiling gcc 4.9.4 and building with this version, and I have tried building both the latest dist of bazel, and the 0.3.1 from the git repo. All variants get the same error.
This happens if the filesystem where Bazel tries to install itself (unpack its embedded tools) doesn't support locking.
Workaround (until the relevant issue is resolved) is to specify a path on a local, writable (and file-lockable) filesystem for --output_user_root, for example:
bazel --output_user_root=/usr/local/$USER/bazelout build <targets>

problems installing Pango-1.30.1

I have encountered a problem installing Pango-1.30 on a Ubuntu 12.04 platform. During ./configure step I receive a message saying "Could not enable any of Freetype, X11, Cairo, or Win32 backends. Must have at least one backend to build Pango". However, I have build and installed Freetype and X11 and they are located in /usr/bin. How do I inform ./configure where to get them?
Thanks,
Mark Allyn
Ensure you have all the dependencies installed, you can find them in the README file.
They are:
fontconfig
