I'm trying to stream data automatically from PostgreSQL 10 to Kafka using debezium together with the logical decoding plugin, wal2json.

I followed all the instructions on how to build and install the plugin from this link by running these command lines:

$ git clone https://github.com/eulerto/wal2json.git
$ cd wal2json
$ PATH=/usr/lib/postgresql/10/bin:$PATH
$ USE_PGXS=1 make
$ USE_PGXS=1 sudo make install

Yet, the steps for installation include this command line: USE_PGXS=1 make and it requires the installation of this package 

sudo apt-get install postgresql-server-dev-10

else, I get the following error 

Makefile:10: /usr/lib/postgresql/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk: No such file or directory

make: *** No rule to make target '/usr/lib/postgresql/11/lib/pgxs/src/makefiles/pgxs.mk'.  Stop.

In fact, I am not allowed to install the package postgresql-server-dev-10 for personal reasons.

Thus, is there any way to install wal2json without installing that package or without using the command make?

Thank you.

    As the are no pre-built binaries available for wal2json you have to compile it yourself. If you can't do that on the target computer, you have to find some other computer with the same OS to build it (e.g. a local VM or something similar) –  Jul 01 '19 at 12:16
  • Yeah, looks like it's the only way to compile it for now. Anyway, thanks a lot. – Prince Vegeta Jul 02 '19 at 09:41
