TSDX build: semantic error TS2339: using 3rd party lib i18next

[hasary]

Hi,
am getting this error on tsdx build
src/index.tsx(6,9): semantic error TS2339: Property 'init' does not exist on type 'typeof import("../node_modules/i18next/index")'.
I checked /node_modules/i18next/ -> the 'init' is exported in index.d.ts.
as you can see in
https://github.com/i18next/i18next/blob/master/index.d.ts line 1234

Steps:
npx tsdx create mylib
cd mylib
npm install i18next -save

index.tsx

import i18next from 'i18next';
i18next.init({
    fallbackLng: 'en',
    debug: true,
    interpolation: {
      escapeValue: false, 
    }
  })
}

npm run build
(typescript) Error: C:/DEV/mylib/src/index.tsx(6,9): semantic error TS2339: Property 'init' does not exist on type 'typeof import("C:/DEV/mylib/node_modules/i18next/index")'.

https://github.com/i18next/i18next/blob/master/index.d.ts
also on lines 1492 1493 and 1498 i18inext is declared and exported, as well as the init function.
