hi, Any thoughts on what I might need / be doing wrong?

Ubuntu 14.04 x86.

% sudo npm install -g elm

[lots of stuff and then]

elm@1.5.1 postinstall /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm node lib/install.js

I'm not an expert in npm matters, but: Can you also show us what kind of file that latter elm-doc is? Is it a true binary, or a (shell) script of some sort? In the latter case, what is its content?

So, what are the outputs of ls -la /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/bin/elm-doc and cat /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/bin/elm-doc, respectively?

[raould]

same sort of thing for all the elm-* binaries e.g. elm-make:

$ which elm-make /usr/local/bin/elm-make $ file which elm-make /usr/local/bin/elm-make: symbolic link to `../lib/node_modules/elm/bin/elm-make' $ file /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/bin/elm-make /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/bin/elm-make: Node.js script, ASCII text executable $ cat /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/bin/elm-make

!/usr/bin/env node

'use strict';

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn; var bin = require('../')['elm-make']; var input = process.argv.slice(2);

spawn(bin, input, {stdio: 'inherit'}) .on('exit', process.exit);

$ which node /usr/bin/node $ file which node /usr/bin/node: symbolic link to `/usr/bin/nodejs' $ node -v v0.10.25

[raould]

$ elm-make vessel.elm execvp(): No such file or directory

events.js:72 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^ Error: spawn ENOENT at errnoException (child_process.js:988:11) at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (child_process.js:779:34)

[jvoigtlaender]

Is there also a directory /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/vendor? Does it contain actual binaries? Are they runnable on your system?

[raould]

Thanks for your help. There's is not any vendor folder at all in /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm.

$ ls /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/ bin/ index.js lib/ node_modules/ package.json readme.md share/

$ find /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/ -name elm-make /usr/local/lib/node_modules/elm/bin/elm-make (nothing else found)

Ubuntu 14.04 x86.

This repository doesn't include any pre-built binaries for 32bit Linux. https://github.com/kevva/elm-bin/tree/3c80f1c3d155fecc025bd7fb092907998eb300b3/vendor

[jvoigtlaender]

So there you have the problem. That vendor directory should contain the binaries for your OS, but the installer does not have access to binaries for your specific case.

[shinnn]

$ node -v v0.10.25

@raould You are using the really older Node. Regardless of this issue I strongly recommend using the latest io.js or Node.

[raould]

Thanks everybody.

Is there no intention of supporting x86?

If not it would probably be nice to have clear messaging up front and/or clearer error messages :-)

[kevva]

I don't know, I'm not using this myself. But if someone is willing to compile binaries, then sure.
