Getting error during installation

[gvimlan]

This is the error I m getting during node app --setup
I have setup local mongo using the steps based on nodes documentations.

gyp ERR! build error

Is there any solution for this?

@gvimlan Hi there,

Can you please provide the following information to help us debug?

1. Server or client operating system (if applicable)
2. NodeBB version and hash
   • To get the hash, run git rev-parse HEAD from the root of your NodeBB folder

[ngsankar]

@julian , I know you hv address it to @gvimlan

I am taking the liberty and sending the info from my server...if following will be of help....

OS: Ubuntu 14.04.3 on digital ocen droplet
NodeBB v0.8.2
hash : 8e80eca449db260f22e4e980d61d2d83cd5ca807

Sending full screen output, as I dont know which piece is more important

What Node.js version are you using?

[ngsankar]

[email protected]:~$ 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.

[A Former User]

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:

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]

1. took a snapshot of the droplet.
2. removed node and reinstalled as suggested.
3. 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.
