Building kosmtik failed on Ubuntu 16.04 #3

Closed matthijsmelissen closed 8 years ago

matthijsmelissen commented 8 years ago

On 16.04, building Kosmtik seems to fail. I get the following error:

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.0-21-generic npm ERR! argv "/usr/bin/nodejs" "/usr/bin/npm" "install" npm ERR! node v4.2.6 npm ERR! npm v3.5.2 npm ERR! file sh npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE npm ERR! errno ENOENT npm ERR! syscall spawn

This is also discussed at https://github.com/kosmtik/kosmtik/issues/155 and https://github.com/mapnik/node-mapnik/issues/660.

Am I correct in assuming that this manual is intended for Ubuntu 14.04?

I think you might have an issue with your version of nodejs. Would you try this and do again the installation?

sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy

Thanks, with nodejs-legacy it works indeed. Do you know when to use the legacy package? Is this for 16.04? Perhaps also something to include in the documentation.

Ircama commented 8 years ago

I think this problem might also happen with other O.S. versions; it looks like Kosmtik needs an old nodejs at the moment. I have just tested the latest v7 beta downloaded from Github on Ubuntu 16.04, which fails.

Just report the instructions to compile it (will not support the installation of Kosmtik):

cd /tmp
sudo apt-get install g++ make cmake
git clone https://github.com/nodejs/node.git
cd node
./configure && make && sudo make install

# To remove the sources:
cd ../..
rm -rf /tmp/node

I'll update the documentation.
