Install error FreeBSD #527

Open Hoekstraa opened 6 years ago

Hoekstraa commented 6 years ago

When trying to install the latest version of wd from npm with 'npm install wd' I get the following error: https://pastebin.com/erxKzBXL

I don't see more info in the logfile. OS is FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE #0 r321309: Fri Jul 21 02:08:28 UTC 2017 root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

EDIT: It seems to be a different error then #509 because that fix doesn't change anything for me, it also doesn't matter what user(root/personal/sudo) I am.

How can this error be circumvented A.S.A.P.?

Apparently when I run chmod -R 777on the build folder, it installs correctly. But this is a lot of effort to do if you need to install the library to lots of unique folders and just not safe. I think someone more knowledgeable about this project should look into this...

Where is the build folder you're referring to? I'm having this same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 and another package I'm trying to install depends on this one, so I'm currently unable to start a project because of this bug.

When you have the 'wd' folder, there's a build folder in there. Go to the wd folder, execute chmod 777 build and then run npm install .. That should work UNLESS the software you're installing installs wd again somewhere else. In that case you probably need to edit the make/install file to correct the fault. I hope this helps, @adueppen.

Is this in the /usr/local/bin/node_modules folder? It seems to be failing to create the wd directory. I'm trying to install it globally if that makes a difference.

adueppen commented 6 years ago

Never mind, it turns out that I had been in the wrong node_modules folder.

adueppen commented 6 years ago

Welp tried it in the right node_modules, but it's still refusing to install. Do I need to add the chmod 777 build to the install script?

adueppen commented 6 years ago

Here's a paste of the output if it helps.

Hoekstraa commented 6 years ago

You can run chmod -R 777 /usr/lib/node_modules/polymer-cli/node_modules/wd/build in your case @adueppen. Sorry for the delayed response.
