I also tried xcode-select --install but no luck.
Any suggestions on how to fix this and successfully install node-rdkafka using npm on my mac?
After trying various options online, I couldn't find the right solution. So, this is what I did and worked
Uninstalled node following the instructions here
If you are using Homebrew, run
brew uninstall node
Use --force or --ignore-dependencies if required
Run node -v. If you still see the version info, follow the instructions here
I also wanted to remove nvm from my machine. So, I removed the ~/.nvm folder. But, I am still seeing the nvm version. To completely clean-up, remove references from ~/.bashrc and ~/.zshrc if any
I realised that I had two versions of node
Post this, I only installed nvm (Don't install node or npm).
brew install nvm
and then installed the required version of node and npm using
nvm install <NODE_VERSION>
This solved my node-gyp errors
