install fails on serial dependency

[hex705]

HI ---

tried to global install OSC via npm on rPi. rPI 3.0 Node version v6.10.2

Get this error: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo npm install osc -g

serialport@4.0.7 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/osc/node_modules/serialport node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build

node-pre-gyp ERR! Tried to download(404): https://github.com/EmergingTechnologyAdvisors/node-serialport/releases/download/4.0.7/serialport-v4.0.7-node-v48-linux-arm.tar.gz node-pre-gyp ERR! Pre-built binaries not found for serialport@4.0.7 and node@6.10.2 (node-v48 ABI) (falling back to source compile with node-gyp)

The ARM version of serial for this release (4.0.7) does not exist.

thots?

Hi @hex705, sorry to hear you're having trouble.

Unfortunately I don't have a Raspberry Pi on hand at the moment, so I can't test it myself. Based on the snippet of the message you're receiving, it looks to me like the error isn't fatal—if node-pre-gyp doesn't find a pre-built binary, it will compile it.

In your case, does the compilation fail? If so, what does the rest of the error message say? Have you followed all the instructions for compiling node-serialport on Raspberry Pi in their documentation?

When I find time, I am planning to modularize osc.js' transports so the core will not depend directly on node-serialport for those users who aren't using OSC over serial, but for now unfortunately it is a direct dependency of the project.

hey thanks for getting back to me...

I rolled back to node version 4.X.X and it is happier.

will do more testing and gat you more info.

I think it has now installed .... OSC would not install globally (-g) .... but it seems to have installed (at least it says it did ... have not got that far in testing) if I install to a local project. (---save, into project modules folder)

not sure why that is the case

will keep working on it and see what happens and get back to you.

hi colin,

not sure if this actually gets to you and I can;t recall where I stuck my first message on your git hub repo.

anyway, with node 4.x.x i can can get osc to run in node in osx and talk to processing (processing.org).

which is awesome .... next step is talking to an arduino directly.

also, I see you are down the street at ocad. that's pretty funny ... I am at ryerson.

great lib so far, thanks. will keep you posted as I get back to my pi and doing tests in that context.

I'm closing this issue since it sounds like it was resolved years ago. :)
