Installation node-rdkafka issue

I am trying to download and install node-rdkafka using the following link, on MacBook pro.

https://github.com/blizzard/node-rdkafka https://blizzard.github.io/node-rdkafka/current/

It is just mentioned this command, “npm install node-rdkafka” to install it.

But, I am getting the following errors:

Could anyone share me your suggestions if you have already worked on node-rdkafka?

Thanks.

checking for libcrypto (by compile)… failed (disable) … ld: library not found for -lcrypto

Does it work if you brew install openssl first?

[webmakersteve]

Your issue was ld: library not found for -lcrypto

You need to install lcrypto or make sure it is in your ld search paths. It comes with openssl. Closing the issue because it looks like you’ve both solved it 😃
