node_rrd

So, since my attempts to get this running on windows went unanswered I set up an Ubuntu box and did as the README suggested (git clone and then npm install .). But I get this error:

Looks like an error in your code?

So, it seems to me they may have changed few things to UV without telling me first :) Which version of ubuntu are you dealing with? Tell you what, I have to setup a new server this week with Ubuntu 13.04 and node 0.10.18. So I will likely hit the same issue if ever. I will then create a new branch on node_rrd where I will patch the module to be in sync with the new uv API changes.

Yeah, I actually fixed that when compiling for windows but when I ran into it again under linux, expecting a butter smooth installation and not knowing if there would be more hurdles waiting behind the first, I thought I'd better raise an issue for it. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 and node 0.10.18. Is there any way I could sweet talk you into publishing this to the npm registry as a public module? It's so nice just to be able to write "rrdtool" : "latest" in the package.json and have it install with all other dependencies with a simple "node install". There are already two other modules in the npm registry that provide an interface to the rrdtool binary (https://npmjs.org/package/rrd and https://npmjs.org/package/node-rrdtool) but your solution seems more efficient and beautiful! (and documented!) :)

Sure, I'm planning on releasing it to npm but I need to settle down the API which is not optimal at this point. I'm open to any suggestions. Also I had a hard time working with node-gyp and I'm fearing the next confrontation ;) Anyways, I'll keep you updated on the uv fix (likely, later this week).

Ok Larse, now you should be able to pull master and compile the module like a charm.

Hi, thanks for the quick fix! I found out that npm supports github urls in the package.json dependencies so I happily added

"rrd": "https://github.com/Orion98MC/node_rrd.git"

but I get this error when running "npm install"

npm http 200 https://github.com/Orion98MC/node_rrd.git

Any idea what is going on here? I looked in the folder /home/lars/tmp/npm-21591-SZpa3MkK/1379271961858-0.45833545620553195/package/ and the only thing there is a file called index.js that contains the html-code for https://github.com/Orion98MC/node_rrd

Nevermind, I just missed that the github url had to start with git:// instead of https:// - problem solved!
