Update / Install fails through npm on RPI

[nicodel]

Hi all,

I have cozy-light installed on a RPI, and after having done a sudo npm update -g, cozy-light wouldn't start. I check the logs and find out that, update fails on command node-gyp rebuild.

As I was not sure of my node/npm install, I removed it, and re-installed it following the steps described in the README.md of cozy-light (wget http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.26/node-v0.10.26-linux-arm-pi.tar.gz...). Try to install cozy-light, but I got the same messages of failure on comand node-gyp rebuild. Any idea what is going on ??

These messages are as follows:

> node-gyp rebuild

I see you ve sudo for update, have you sudo too in order to (re) install ?

[nicodel]

Yes, always as cozy-light was installed with -g. I also tried logged as root. But still the same message.

Yes that one is really weird. Can you clear your NPM cache and try again?

sudo npm clean

[nicodel]

I solved my problem last night, and I am quite ashame to share the solution with you...

/ was full

No worries, it might happens to other users. That's good to know.
