@jano-petras does this problem still persists? Are you able to debug it?

Do not have a vagrant 64bit openSuse box at hand...

[jano-petras]

Yes it does. I don't know how to debug as haven't worked with node yet.

I have gotten a fresh copy of protagonist from git and tried installing as root using npm from local folder, still the same issue.

Also modified the bindings.gypi / includes section to prefix common.gypi with a ./ to force it to look in the current directory rather then in /usr/share/node/ folder (because the file is there) but still the same...

[cesarizu]

I ran into the same problem. You need to install node-devel for it to work.
zypper in nodejs-devel

[mustela]

I'm having the same issue on OS X 10.9.4 and node version 0.10.26

[zdne]

@mustela does solution @cesarizu suggest helps?

[mustela]

@zdne I'm not sure how to install "node-devel", I'm new with it. I've tried a few things but no success

[zdne]

@mustela I have just checked on my system:

$ node -v
v0.10.26

$ npm -v
1.4.3

$ gcc --version

$ sw_vers -productVersion

Running:

$ npm install protagonist
$ cd node_modules/protagonist
$ npm install
$ npm test

Works just fine. Please make sure to have Xcode CLI tools installed.

[mustela]

Hi @zdne I have exactly the same configuration, and xcode cli tools installed, but having the following issue when I try to run "npm install protagonist"

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/protagonist
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/protagonist

protagonist@0.12.1 install /Users/mustela/node_modules/protagonist
node-gyp rebuild

@mustela Do you use for install nodejs via nvm or homebrew?

[zdne]

@mustela this look like related to this strange libtool issues here – apiaryio/snowcrash#93 (comment) can you please try the proposed solution from there? Sorry about that.

[mustela]

@zdne I did that, remove the libtool and link it from the CLT but same results.

@abtris I'm using nvm

Thanks guys!

[zdne]

That is very unfortunate. To be honest I do not really understand what the issue with libtool is. Neither I am experiencing the problems – but apparently something is not installed properly on the box you are trying to run.

What is gcc --version Are you using Xcode or Xcode CLI tools? If so what are the versions there?

Hi

just wanted to add that it also fails on Ubuntu 14.04 64bits.

$ node -v
v0.10.32
$ npm -v
1.4.28
$ gcc --version
