@jkgenser I have been resolved this issue without build rocsdb using under command.

RUN apt update && apt install -y python3-pip \
                                libgflags-dev \
                                libsnappy-dev \
                                zlib1g-dev \
                                libbz2-dev \
                                liblz4-dev \
                                libzstd-dev \
                                librocksdb-dev

And also I have been succeeded build rocksdb using dockerfile and installed python-rocksdb after resolving the above errors, but I’m not sure it helps you. Here is a part of my dockerfile to build and install rocksdb. I wish it can help you.

RUN apt update && apt install -y python3-pip \
                                build-essential \
                                cmake \
                                libgflags-dev \
                                libsnappy-dev \
                                zlib1g-dev \
                                libbz2-dev \
                                liblz4-dev \
                                libzstd-dev

RUN git clone https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb.git
WORKDIR /rocksdb
RUN mkdir build
WORKDIR /rocksdb/build
RUN cmake ..
RUN make
RUN make install INSTALL_PATH=/usr

RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

Turns out I didn’t had Cython installed in my local python, after install it I managed to also install python-rocksdb
