npm install error

Got following error when trying to run npm install on Ubuntu

> sh src/generate_curl_options_list.sh && (node-gyp rebuild || node-waf configure build)

The solution was to run:

> sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev

May be worth noting in the installation instructions that libcurl-dev is required, or fixing in some other way.

cheers

This solution worked for me as well, thanks.

how about on windows?

[AnthonySteele]

This package is not cross-platform. On windows:

'sh' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

[JCMais]

Any way to make this work on windows?

I have bash installed, so sh works, the issue was probably about the script not finding the curl header files, I can download it from the curl project (there is a windows version in there), but it will probably fail again.

[JCMais]

I've added Windows support on a branch I'm working on, but keep in mind the API was changed. https://github.com/JCMais/node-libcurl/tree/develop

I am getting the same error on Centos 6.4.

Have libcurl-7.19.7-37.el6_4.i686 installed. Still getting the same error. Any fix for Centos?

[vivekratnavel]

I fixed it by installing libcurl-devel in Centos.

sudo yum install libcurl-devel

@vivekratnavel This fixed my centos issue as well. Thanks for saving me a lot of time!

[luciddev]

This fixed it for me on CentOs sudo yum install curl-devel

After using the above solution of libcurl3-dev in my Ubuntu 14.04 box, now I'm having this error

It's resolved, thanks to @jimmygle here. The issue is with G++ so have to install it using:

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++
