`npm install chimera` on ubuntu installs broken chimera #17

Open Trindaz opened 11 years ago

Trindaz commented 11 years ago

Fresh instance of Ubuntu 12 on AWS, upgrade to node.js 0.8.17, then create a new node.js project and do the old 'npm install chimera'.

Then run 'node index2.js' (using sample code from READM.md) I get this:

Error loading chimera in lib

/home/ubuntu/talous/node_modules/chimera/lib/main.js:29 setInterval(webkit.processEvents, 50); ^ TypeError: Cannot read property 'processEvents' of undefined at Object.

(and incase you're wondering about the upgrade to node 0.8.17, the reason is that Ubuntu 12's default nodejs 0.6 doesn't have fs.existsSync which is used in /chimera/lib/main.js)

is this a 64bit ubuntu?

underbyte commented 11 years ago

This is happening on ubuntu 64bit, seems that the scripts/download_native_binary.js is requesting a file from "http://s3.chimerajs.com/chimera_linux_x64__0.3.2.gz" and the server is returning access denied.

I can reproduce this on fresh ubuntu aws instance.

I'm also seeing this issue in 32-bit Ubuntu 12.04:
