I would expect that the Xerial library is not in the Kafdrop path; or the wrong version of the library. I hit a similar issue with the LZ4 compression library due to mismatches in the versions.

On Alpine Linux the libc6-compat package is required. I managed to fix this error and add Snappy support by upgrading Kafdrop's Kafka-dependency to v0.11.0.3 plus adding libc6-compat to the Docker image running Kafdrop. I used ldd in the container to trace missing run-time dependencies for dynamic load of Snappy shared library.

There is no real development taking place on Kafdrop 2.x. Consider updating to the next major version – Kafdrop 3.
