Problems with installation

[itsariadust]

tried installing erlpack to fix my installation issues with npm but here's what happens:

> [email protected] install C:\Users\RAP\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\erlpack
> node-gyp rebuild


C:\Users\RAP\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\erlpack>if not defined npm_config_node_gyp (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\npm-lifecycle\node-gyp-bin\\..\..\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild )  else (node "C:\Program Files\nodejs\node_modules\npm\node_modules\node-gyp\bin\node-gyp.js" rebuild )

how can I fix this issue?

Would it be possible for you to post that logfile (the one that is given in the path at the very bottom).

Also, this seems to be a general issue with node-gyp, and I have since posted about it in the node-gyp repo, seen here.

So after continually trying to build erlpack, I see these error messages pop up:

./js/erlpack.cc:42:11: error: variable or field ‘Init’ declared void
 void Init(Handle<Object> exports) {
           ^~~~~~
../js/erlpack.cc:42:11: error: ‘Handle’ was not declared in this scope
../js/erlpack.cc:42:11: note: suggested alternative: ‘daddl’

           daddl

                        ^

 NODE_MODULE(erlpack, Init);

Not sure if that is related in any way :thinking:

I am having the same issues. My bot no longer works and I think it is because I need these dependencies, but they no longer install properly. Anyone get it to work?

[esunder]

@trackpadpro This is probably a breaking change between newer nodejs versions. I downgraded from node12 to node10 and it successfully compiles.

[MEXdave1997]

this may sound like a stupid question, but how did you perform the downgrade? did you just do a reinstall?

[esunder]

I don't remember the exact steps but first uninstall the current version, then you can specify the exact version to install with apt (assuming ubuntu-like distro)
