https://github.com/lestrrat-go/libxml2/blob/master/clib/clib.go
Getting the Error message as "could not determine kind of name for C.free"

To Reproduce / Expected behavior

[lestrrat]

I can't reproduce it. Just a guess but perhaps you are using an old Go version?

[Priyankasoni037]

It fails with the same error with the latest GO version as well Go 1.22.4

[lestrrat]

Bummer. But since I can't reproduce it, I can't do much. Please provide a reproducible scenario.

I also have a similar problem

How did I solve it?

1. Install required system packages
   for Ubuntu
   sudo apt install icu-devtools libicu-dev

for Docker
`FROM golang:alpine as builder

RUN apk update && apk add --update --no-cache
ca-certificates
gcc
musl-dev
libxml2
libxml2-dev
icu
icu-dev`

2. In command to build executable add special flag
   CGO_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/unicode"

That's all

[lestrrat]

@Priyankasoni037 as I already said, you need to isolate what it is that differs from the CI environment that produces your error. Otherwise I will never be able to do anything on this.
