What Node.js version are you using?

ngsankar

ngsankar@TestM:~$ node --version
v0.12.7

I didnt install this version specifically. As part of the installation instruction, I believe the latest stable version gets installed.

? Offline

If I would be you I would reinstall Node and all its components:

apt-get remove node*
apt-get purge node*

And maybe this as well:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5650169/uninstall-node-js-using-linux-command-line

Then check after your repos and maybe remove any additional ones related to NodeJS and run:
apt-get update
apt-get install nodejs nodejs-legacy npm

Verfiy the versions by running node -v and node-gyp -v.

ngsankar

took a snapshot of the droplet.
removed node and reinstalled as suggested.
Same node version and ended up same error..

ngsankar

@gvimlan, @BDHarrington7 , were you able to get this resolved ?

Bri

I haven't had a chance yet.

gvimlan

Same error. No changes

I'm having a similar error while trying to install NodeBB with Mongo.

For me this was fixed by installing Kerberos. e.g. on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libkrb5-dev

julian

@vinjdw @Marc-Boisvert-Dupras Keep in mind Kerberos authentication is default off, so if the module does not compile, this does not stop MongoDB (or NodeBB) from functioning correctly.
