Unable to find NFC netlink family
netlink init failed
No such file or directory
I use libnl-3-dev libnl-nf-3-dev, as opposed to what stated libnl2
kindly please address my issue

Erm, you ran 'npm'...  Are you sure you wanted to use that??? Mark --

netlink-nfc couldn't be found anywhere except from npm

https://www.npmjs.com/package/netlink-nfc

Any other means to overcome this issue

The neard does not use anything from npm, so you still miss libraries.

[kannan-sosaley]

can u list what am i missing apart from
libnl-3-dev libnl-nf-3-dev libnl-route-3-dev

[krzk]

I don't what system do you have, what packages did you install, so I have no clue what you are missing. The README file has a list of dependencies. Optionally you can check CI installation scripts for specific Ubuntu flavor in https://github.com/linux-nfc/neard/tree/master/ci .

I tried and tested on both Ubuntu on X86_64 and Raspiberry pi4, both results to same error
Digging the source from netlink.c i found kinda socket init error
i use Ubuntu environment.

Do you have all the required packages as described by CI installation scripts?
