@al-cheb are you installing using cargo install bindgen? If so it's expected, bindgen was split up in two crates in rust-lang/rust-bindgen#2284. The right command to run is cargo install bindgen-cli. The binary will still be named bindgen tho.

This was done mostly to work around the inability to specify different default features for binary and library crates on cargo tho, see rust-lang/rust-bindgen#2238 etc.

Thank you. That's right, we install bindgen using cargo install bindgen. I will update our code to use bindgen-cli.
