'rdkafka 0.8.1 ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension

I'm runnning bundle install Then I get this error:

Fetching rdkafka 0.8.1
Installing rdkafka 0.8.1 with native extensions
Gem::Ext::BuildError: ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Extracting v1.4.0 into tmp//ports/librdkafka/1.4.0... OK
Running 'configure' for librdkafka 1.4.0... ERROR, review '/Users/codegeek/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.5.1@ls-member/gems/rdkafka-0.8.1/ext/tmp/ports/librdkafka/1.4.0/configure.log' to see what happened. Last lines are:

}

But then it will suggest to do:

Make sure that `gem install rdkafka -v '0.8.1' --source 'https://rubygems.org/'` succeeds before bundling.

So I'll run gem install rdkafka -v '0.8.1' --source 'https://rubygems.org/' but then it will produce an error too

Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR:  Error installing rdkafka:
    ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension.

Please help. Thanks!

Solution 1:[1]

I was able to fix it by providing the following compilation flags

CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/opt/openssl/include LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib gem install rdkafka -v '0.8.1'

I was able to find the answer in this GitHub issue

Hopefully that works for you!

just run the following on your terminal:

xcode-select --install

Solution 3:[3]

Based on @Luan answer I could fix my error. I have 2 homebrews installed which creates a mess in some occasions. If you are in an arm silicon macos try

CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/include/ LDFLAGS=-L/opt/homebrew/opt/[email protected]/lib gem install rdkafka -v '0.10.0'
