Hi Ismael, Thank you for your quick and helpful response. You were right. I was following the build instructions at https://github.com/apache/kafka#apache-kafka and that piece of information seems to be missing there.
In any case, these set of commands worked for me to build Kafka: $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cwchien/gradle $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer $ sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-oracle /usr/lib/jvm/default-java $ sudo apt-get install gradle $ git clone https://github.com/apache/kafka.git $ cd kafka/ $ gradle Regards, --Vahid From: Ismael Juma <ism...@juma.me.uk> To: dev@kafka.apache.org Date: 01/13/2016 03:49 PM Subject: Re: Kafka build fails Sent by: isma...@gmail.com Hi Vahid, It looks like the Gradle version you installed is 1.5. Kafka requires at least 2.0.
