APologies, new to KDB and Kafka - but I would have expected this to work out of the box. Any help would be appreciated.

Although this won't be the underlying issue this interface isn't supported for 32bit versions of kdb+. You can install an on-demand licence here which will be more suitable.

Can you please outline what instructions/steps you followed in order to install the interface? The interface won't work 'out of the box', rather it will need you to install following the instructions outlined here

HI,

Thank you for the response - apologies - when I said out of the box - those instructions are what I meant :-) I followed them, compiled the version on Ubuntu as per the instructions and then got the error . 

The specific error doesn't look like a bad installation or 32 vs 64bit version - but more of a missing library path or library:

Apologies email got cut off.  As I said, it looks like more of a missing library path or library 'The specified module could not be found. [2] \wsl$\Ubuntu-20.04\home\wlee\kdbkafka\kfk.q:74: .kfk,:(`$3'string funcs[;0])!LIBPATH@/:funcs Could you confirm where these functions should be loaded from? Thanks!

The missing library is probably a result of the 32 vs 64 bit difference, in order for q to pick up the library it needs to have the appropriate shared object within $QHOME/[l|w|m][32|64]

Can you return the output from

ls $QHOME/

the output from running ls on the l64/l32 directory that exists within $QHOME

If this is still an issue please reopen with additional information. Closing for now

Thank you for all your help! Apologies for not getting back earlier as other items required my attention.  I am planning to get back into it the next couple of days, if I run into the same issues, should I open a new request as indicated above or just respond to this email chain?
