node-sass@3.3.3 Problem with the vendor/darwin-x64-14/binding.node binary (MacOS X 10.6.8)

[gecko25]

I want to install gulp-sass, however when I did this I got an error. I did some research and read that gulp-sass depends on node-sass and so I went to install node-sass and also got an error.

Node-sass seems to be having problems with the binary? And also has problems wit the binary and then also a problem with python. I have Python 2.6.1 installed.

I am fairly beginner and really at a loss and in unfamiliar territory. I tried reading this thread --> https://github.com/sass/node-sass/issues/428 , but was having trouble relating it to exactly what my problem is/what I need to.

I am on a Mac 10.6.8.

Do I need to upgrade python? Its a ton of MB and I don't really want to...

Below are the installation errors I am getting:

Can you go through our TROUBLESHOOTING.md document and post the output? I am interested in your node version, platform details etc.

Can you also fetch the node-sass manually via git:

git clone https://github.com/sass/node-sass
cd node-sass

then start your node and enter

var r = require('node-sass')
console.log(r)

[saper]

Also, as a workaround, can you see if npm install node-sass@beta works better?

[gecko25]

Thanks @saper... Unfortunately I am still running into issues =/

For the troubleshooting.md--- I was unable to perform the last step because I cannot cd node_modules/node-sass/vendor because the node_modules dir does not exist. If I look at the npm-debug.log it looks as if this dir is created but then "gently removed". Here is the npm-debug.log if helpful --> https://gist.github.com/gecko25/823aa63bc36efd2a25c8

For the the git clone approach, I also am running into weirdness. It seems that even when I clone I cannot get node to recognize node-sass...? Am I missing something obvious? I pasted the output for that as well.

For the npm install node-sass@beta I still get an installation error =. I'll paste that below as well.

Thanks @gecko25 , that's more than helpful.

Let's continue with the checked-out copy of node-sass from git.

Can you edit scripts/build.js file and change line 215 to:

console.log(['Problem with the binary.', e, 'Manual build incoming.'].join(eol));

(just insert "e, " in the middle)

or apply the following patch:

index ac62a22..2ddc46d 100644
--- a/scripts/build.js
+++ b/scripts/build.js
@@ -212,7 +212,7 @@ function testBinary(options) {

     console.log('Binary is fine; exiting.');
   } catch (e) {
-    console.log(['Problem with the binary.', 'Manual build incoming.'].join(eol));
+    console.log(['Problem with the binary.', e, 'Manual build incoming.'].join(eol));

     return build(options);
   }

After this, try to run node scripts/install.js from your node-sass directory and post the output.

[gecko25]

Thanks again @saper.
Short answer to your question is the output it gave me is:

Binary downloaded and installed at /Users/saratankard/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-14/binding.node

Other notes.. may worth some value(?): After I made the changes to the build.js file and attempted to run node scripts/install.js I was missing some modules... Originally I did an npm install to try and install everything I needed from package.json, but when I did this I got a lot of messy error output-- seemingly identical to the error messages I have been originally posting.

After being discouraged by messy output, I instead npm installed each package as need until the command ran and it gave me the output of what you are looking for.

Installing the modules one by one output:

Sorry, I didn't realize you didn't have dependencies there from the previous npm install.

The error message I was looking for was this:

Error: dlopen(/Users/saratankard/temp4/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-14/binding.node, 1): Symbol not found: __ZNKSt3__119__shared_weak_count13__get_deleterERKSt9type_info

[saper]

Thanks @gecko25, this will not be trivial to solve.

Can you give me the output of the following commands:

otool -L `which node`
otool -L /Users/saratankard/temp4/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-14/binding.node

(or wherever your binding.node ended up).

@xzyfer Looks like we have an issue with MacOSX binaries. Most probably our old problem with mixing libstdc++ and libc++ is haunting us again. Did we ever test them on a machine without Xcode installed?

[saper]

One last chance for a workaround: @gecko25 do you have recent Xcode installed? Does installing a recent Xcode fix the issue? (at least command line tools - we only might need C++ runtime libraries)

[mgkamal]

@saper I am trying the same with node version 4.0.0; npm 2.14.2 and also have the latest version of XCode (Version 7.0 (7A220)). But still getting the same error "Error: The libsass binding was not found in /node_modules/gulp-sass/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-14/binding.node "

[xzyfer]

@mgkamal you're getting new error because you haven't rebuilt the binary for your new runtime (node 4). Run npm rebuild node-sass.

[saper]

@mgkamal this us a different issue, please follow out troubleshooting document and open a new one.

[gecko25]

Okay @saper it is working now. Solution: upgrade my OS. I upgraded to Yosemite 10.10.5

Notes: My command line did not recognize the command otool.. so I could not give the output you asked for. And when I went to upgrade my xcode, I couldn't do so because my OS was so old. Soo.. I upgraded. I didn't realize you could do this for free or I would have a long time ago! I am a semi-new mac user.

After the upgrade I ran a npm install node-sass and had a successful installation.

I do not believe this was a bug with node-sass. Before the upgrade, I also tried to run npm install gulp-nodemon and got the same installation error. I am not sure what weird state my computer got itself into (as I had previously installed gulp-nodemon with 10.6 for an earlier project with no problems)... but it seems that it was not something to do with node-sass.

Thank you so much for supporting me so responsively to try and resolve this... even if in the end it was just a good ole upgrade and restart that resolved everything.

[saper]

Yes, I think we've had some effort to support users on "Maverick" (10.9) but this one looks like definitely too old, it comes without a good C++11 library. Happy that it works for you now!

[mgkamal]

@saper / @xzyfer I did "npm rebuild node-sass", but didn't work. Also tried, "npm remove node-sass" and then "npm install node-sass". Same error.

My MAC OS: Yosemite 10.10.5 (14F27)

Error details:

/node_modules/gulp-sass/node_modules/node-sass/lib/extensions.js:150 throw new Error([ ^ Error: The libsass binding was not found in /node_modules/gulp-sass/node_modules/node-sass/vendor/darwin-x64-14/binding.node

[saper]

@mgkamal Please follow steps in https://github.com/sass/node-sass/blob/master/TROUBLESHOOTING.md and open a new issue if the issue still persists. Thanks.

[wulymammoth]

@mgkamal I had the same issue, but then I updated my node to current stable (which I had totally forgotten about) and my npm and it worked.
