Failed at the geoip2@1.0.5 install script 'node-gyp rebuild'

[felixfong227]

Everything is doing fine on my local development laptop,but when i move my app to Digital Ocean,the error start showing.

[jardaroh]

I am experiencing this exact problem myself. So can confirm that there is as issue

[davidtsai]

What version of nodejs? And what distribution of Linux?

[davidtsai]

Also, is there any additional logging in npm-debug.log with more details?

[davidtsai]

Also ensure you have development tools installed on your server. geoip2 requires a C++ compiler in order to install.

[felixfong227]

Both droplet and laptop and PC are using Node 7.5.0, and as for my droplet is using Ubuntu 16.04.1 x64,and my laptop is using OSX, and my PC is using Win10

[bcronje]

I had the same issue, even though I had C++ compiler installed. Turned out node-gyp also requires python. On my Ubuntu machine after running sudo apt-get install python-minimal geoip2 installed without any errors.

Same error, Windows 10

[nitinet]

Also facing this issue on ubuntu 16.04. Node version 8.5, node-gyp version 3.6.2

[Streek]

Same issue on OSX,

@nitinbansal1989 @Streek did you guys try my workaround above: sudo apt-get install python-minimal as per comment https://github.com/davidtsai/node-geoip2/issues/20#issuecomment-284886497 ?

[Streek]

Do you know if that package is on brew or ports?

[bcronje]

No idea. python-minimal is just a minimal subset of the python package. You can installing the full python package from brew or ports and that should do the trick as well.

I had a similar issue with the node package xml2json. It looks like node-gyp is for compiling native modules for nodejs. That package used node-expat which is a C++ or C lib that has to be built on the architecture of the machine when npm install is ran.

I fixed this by making sure make and g++. I did this on a brand new 14.04 AWS box. I took this for granted when building on my own machine.

sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install g++

TLDR: I think node-gyp is the visible side-effect of the native build going wrong, make sure you have make and g++ or gcc.

[jljorgenson18]

Having the same error as @Streek. Standard OSX install, node v8.6.0, node-gyp 3.6.2. Python seems to be on my system and working just fine.

[nitinet]

i have already installed python 2.7.14 still this is getting me the error.

[MelissaClark]

Agree that it fails to compile on OS X Sierra 10.12.6 with the error given by @Streek .

c++ --version gives: Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.37) Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0 Thread model: posix InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

node --version: v8.6.0

python --version Python 2.7.10

I also tried installing gcc v6 using homebrew and forced gyp to use it by setting the CC and CXX environment variables to gcc-6. This fails with: gcc-6: error: unrecognized command line option '-stdlib=libc++' gcc-6: error: unrecognized command line option '-stdlib=libc++'

[davidtsai]

@MelissaClark I'm also on OS X sierra and am unable to reproduce with the same node & python versions. On OS X, the default compiler should be clang that is installed through xcode. What does your command prompt return for:

cpp --version
Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.38)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Toolchains/XcodeDefault.xctoolchain/usr/bin

[htamas]

@davidtsai I still have the problem and cpp --version returns

Apple LLVM version 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.38)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

Although it's in a different install dir (don't know why), I guess it should still work. This issue is quite sad.

[htamas]

@davidtsai are you using the latest Xcode CLI tools? There was an update on 17th October. The latest is v9.0 (macOS Sierra version 10.12)

[nmathon]

Hi have the same error with macOS Sierra 10.12.6

Hi have the same error gyp ERR! build error gyp ERR! stack Error: make failed with exit code: 2 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onExit ($HOME/.nvm/versions/node/v6.11.2/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/build.js:276:23) gyp ERR! stack at emitTwo (events.js:106:13) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.emit (events.js:191:7) gyp ERR! stack at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:215:12) gyp ERR!

make, gpp, gcc, python are installed

[dantaub]

Actually, it turns out I only had commandline tools installed. Installing XCode proper (92?) fixed the problem for me

same error on a nearly brand new macbook sierra 10.12.6 with xcode installed
