UNABLE TO BUILD THE TOOLKIT EXTENSION - Have anyone faced this issue? Error: failed to run custom build command for pgx-pg-sys v0.2.4

[arunkumar790]

Hi All, I am new to timescaleDB and exploring it, got below error while Installing Toolkit on self-hosted TimescaleDB at step4 (Use Cargo to complete installation)
I couldn't find any solution over net, it would be great if someone help. Thanks

Compiling pgx-pg-sys v0.2.4

[error] failed to build extension

Hi, Arun! It looks like your build system lacks standard C headers such as stdbool.h and stddef.h. How to get those depends on your operating system, which I don't think you specified. E.g., on Ubuntu 20.04.3, you need to install the linux-libc-dev and libstdc++-9-dev packages.

Our Readme actually suggests running this: sudo apt-get install make gcc pkg-config clang postgresql-server-dev-13 libssl-dev.

Thanks a lot. I understood docker is much better way and successful with "timescale/timescaledb-ha:pg14-latest"

@epgts excuse me for addressing you directly, but tangentially related to this: Yesterday I opened an issue with respect to building the toolkit extension for pg14, as it is giving an error (seems) due to the use of muslc in alpine. Is this the place where I can get help? might you know where else can I look for help, otherwise? Thank you very much for your time! :-)
