build error when installing on RP2

[jguillod]

When executing npm install wiring-pi on a Raspberry PI 2 the following log contained error

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ npm install wiring-pi npm WARN package.json gpio-stream@1.0.14 No repository field.

And the module cannot be loaded in node:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ node

var wpi = require('wiring-pi'); Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/wiringPi' at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15) at Function.Module._load (module.js:278:25) at Module.require (module.js:365:17) at require (module.js:384:17) at Object.

any clue?

Thanks

Sorry folks, I haven't maintained this project properly for a long time. The repository you're looking for is this awesome fork — https://github.com/eugeneware/wiring-pi

Please submit your issues there where you'll find better help, I don't own a RPi2, so I can't help.

However, from looking at the logs @jguillod posted, my first guess would be a node version mismatch, make sure you're using Node v0.10.

I had the same problem. I did not have git installed. After I installed git it worked.
