Installing confluent-kafka from source and getting this: #error “confluent-kafka-python requires librdkafka v1.6.0 or later. Install the latest version of librdkafka from the Confluent repositories, see [http://docs.confluent.io/current/installation.html](http://docs.confluent.io/current/installation.html)” Where do I find the latest version of librdkafka, version 1.7? when I install one via yum, I get version 0.11 which is not adequate for the install. ---
