Installation Fails on Raspberry Pi2 / Pi3

[punitganshani]

Here's what is installed

CMAKE

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cmake --version
cmake version 3.5.0

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).

SWIG

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ swig -version

SWIG Version 3.0.8
Compiled with g++ [armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabihf]
Configured options: +pcre
Please see http://www.swig.org for reporting bugs and further information

Then I installed cmake-js

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm install cmake-js -g
npm WARN deprecated npmconf@2.1.2: this package has been reintegrated into npm and is now out of date with respect to npm
npm WARN deprecated graceful-fs@3.0.8: graceful-fs v3.0.0 and before will fail on node releases >= v7.0. Please update to graceful-fs@^4.0.0 as soon as possible. Use 'npm ls graceful-fs' to find it in the tree.
/usr/local/bin/cmake-js -> /usr/local/lib/node_modules/cmake-js/bin/cmake-js
/usr/local/lib
└── cmake-js@3.2.1

Now I tried installing this package using NPM and it still doesn't find right SWIG and it gives error

Could NOT find SWIG: Found unsuitable version "2.0.12", but required is at least "3.0.7" (found /usr/bin/swig2.0)

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ npm install pocketsphinx -g

> pocketsphinx@5.0.7 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/pocketsphinx
> cmake-js compile

(node:3499) fs: re-evaluating native module sources is not supported. If you are using the graceful-fs module, please update it to a more recent version.

I don't have the nodejs package swig installed. What's the issue here?

[nshmyrev]

You have old swig2.0 installed on your system, you need to remove it.

[punitganshani]

I did run sudo apt-get remove swig but it uninstalled successfully. Still same issue

[nshmyrev]

What exactly is "the same"

[punitganshani]

Could NOT find SWIG: Found unsuitable version "2.0.12", but required is at
least "3.0.7" (found /usr/bin/swig2.0)

[nshmyrev]

And, what you do not understand in this message? It says you have swig2.0. It does not lie or try to fool you, it just states the fact.

[punitganshani]

Appreciate your help!

Figured it out. SWIG 3.0.8 was installed but I had to manually delete the link and it worked now sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/swig2.0
