Trouble running in CentOS 6.6 due to outdated binary

[evanhuang8]

I am trying to run strong-pm on a CentOS 6.6 + io.js 2.4.0 machine, and here is the error I am getting while trying to start the daemon process:

Seems like the libc version is not high enough for one of the dependencies (sqlite), and I don't think I can upgrade glibc to 2.14 on CentOS 6.6.

Seems like this is a recent breaking change as well:

https://github.com/mafintosh/leveldown-prebuilt/issues/1 https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/issues/484

Do you guys have any tip on how to fix it?

[sam-github]

Its probably possible to convince node-pre-gyp to not try to download and use the prebuilt sqlite3 binding, and just build it. I'll check.

[sam-github]

@bnoordhuis It looks like your patch https://github.com/mapbox/node-sqlite3/pull/444 was accepted, but then re-broken?

[rmg]

According to mapbox/node-sqlite3#244 you can force the addon to be compiled with npm install --build-from-source is how to force compilation. As with other npm CLI flags, this could also be done via an environment variable: npm_config_build_from_source=true.

[bnoordhuis]

@sam-github I suspect the issue lies with the environment the prebuilt sqlite3 module was built in. Building from source should fix that.

[evanhuang8]

npm install strong-pm --build-from-source worked. Looks like we will just have to wait for upstream to be fixed?

[erikverheij]

I have the same issue on my local windows machine and on an amazon EC2 server (default linux AMI).

On windows "npm install strong-pm --build-from-source" worked, but on the amazon server it doesn't;

[bnoordhuis]

@erikverheij That looks like a permission issue:

gyp WARN EACCES user "root" does not have permission to access the dev dir "/root/.node-gyp/0.10.32"

Which then leads to:

No rule to make target ../.node-gyp/0.10.32/common.gypi', needed byMakefile'.

I speculate that either /root/.node-gyp doesn't exist or has the wrong permissions.

Aside, consider upgrading to the latest v0.10 release, you're a few security patches behind.

[erikverheij]

Thank you. I managed to get it working.

Do you know where that 0.10.32 version is coming from? I tried to update node (to v0.12) and node-gyp.

[bnoordhuis]

I assume it's somewhere on your path. which node should tell you where.
