We don't support Node 5 yet, please try with Node 4.

MSaifAsif · 2016-01-23T15:48:40Z

Thanks for the reply, let me try it out

MSaifAsif · 2016-01-23T16:13:09Z

No luck, still getting the error. (updated to node v4.2.6)

@MSaifAsif - Are you running on a Windows machine?

Perhaps your problem is the one detailed in this epic open issue on the node-gyp repo appropriately entitled:
Windows users are not happy.
nodejs/node-gyp#629

Read the instructions here:
nodejs/node-gyp#629 (comment)

Note: my own experience here is the node-gyp issue did not resolve until installing Visual Studio 2015 and including the C++ options during install.

MSaifAsif · 2016-01-23T18:10:34Z

@mg1075 Yeah I happened to come across that issue when google searching for this. But am actually on a linux machine (Ubuntu 14.04 to be exact).
Would this issue have anything to do with the g++ compiler ? Just guessing, since all the issues are C related errors

@MSaifAsif I build fine on 4.2.6. I am also on Ubuntu 14.04. do you have build_essentials installed via apt-get? Also do rm -rf node_modules, npm cache clean, and try npm install again.

weilah · 2016-01-27T19:40:55Z

I'm experimenting exactly the same error. I also have
node v5.5.0
npm 3.5.3

and installed node following this instructions http://www.johnpapa.net/how-to-use-npm-global-without-sudo-on-osx/
I think they are pretty the same. The one and only difference is that I'm on OS X.

I'm going to try what @trainerbill says and report back

weilah · 2016-01-27T20:30:57Z

I ended downgrading the node to 0.12.9 and it worked.

I did it following this steps:

http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/171530/how-do-i-downgrade-node-or-install-a-specific-previous-version-using-homebrew

trainerbill · 2016-01-27T21:10:30Z

@weilah You should look into using nvm. Its a lifesafer

MSaifAsif · 2016-01-30T11:09:23Z

Ended up downgrading and then followed what @trainerbill suggested. Builds fine now.

danwdart · 2016-08-09T08:21:32Z

So how might this work with node 6.3?I thought there were solutions out there for this...

ilanbiala · 2016-08-09T11:07:01Z

@dandart please open a new issue as this was not for Node 6.3.

jtakalai · 2017-03-01T13:22:08Z

Using 0.12.18 worked. As easy as nvm install 0.12.18. NVM saves the day!
