error when installing via npm

[hugh]

I am trying to install this and continue to get the following error:

npm install geoip

any suggestions on how to proceed? i have installed the geoip c library via src as you recommended and also have tried installing via the yum packages. what else can i try?

thanks for your help!

It seems there are some unknown problems within official registry(npmjs.org). Currently, you can download the zipball from github and install them manually.

wget https://nodeload.github.com/kuno/GeoIP/zipball/v0.4.3

unzip v0.4.3

cd kuno-GeoIP-905d3db 

[ sudo ] npm install . [ -g ]

--kuno

just wanna remind you that registry.npmjs.org is back to working state now.

I am having similar problem while installing geoip using npm. I assume npm is installed automatically with node 0.6.7. I installed all components (node, geoip) package manually from sources.

GeoIP-1.4.7$ npm install geoip npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/geoip npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/geoip

geoip@0.4.5 preinstall /home/rizwan/GeoIP-1.4.7/node_modules/geoip node-waf clean || (exit 0); node-waf configure build

Thanks in advance =)

@afaqi This issue is more likely related to waf rather than geoip. Try solution on this page
