Solved: node-gyp rebuild error on Joule

wwelc1 · ‎11-20-2016

Having problems in running simple sample codes such as LED blinking and Grove LCD display from Intel XDK IoT Edition on Windows 10.

I have refreshed the Ostro XT. This is the last part of error messages, suggesting that it is failing at node-gyp reguild command.

I checked if node-gyp is installed and found it is not. So, I did the following:

npm install -g node-gyp

And now, Joule gives me this.

What can I do now? Perhaps uninstall/reinstall node and node-gyp with the same version number?

Thanks,

Hello welcomesorrow,

Thanks for reaching out!

This is an unexpected behavior which has never occurred to me. Therefore, I believe something might be wrong on the XDK's installation. So, I suggest you to try installing it again to see if that corrects this issue.

I also noted on the error log a line that mentions mraa 0.7.5. I believe this is because the XDK version is out of date as the version installed on Joule is 1.5.1 as you can see if you run the following Python script:

import mraa

mraa.getVersion()

Try installing the XDK and updating it to the latest version and let us know if this behavior persists.

Hi Peter,

Thanks, I think you are right in that the problems was that the mraa installed on my Joule was a wrong one. I followed, however, precisely the instruction of Intel Developer Zone that was

# curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel-iot-devkit/joule-code-samples/master/mraa-install.sh | sh

in this page

https://software.intel.com/en-us/updating-libraries-for-joule IoT - Installing and updating middleware libraries | Intel® Software

If there were any confusion of mraa, there is no way for us to know. It should be corrected on your github.

cheers,

sorrow

Hi welcomesorrow,

I understand your point completely. Thank you for providing us this feedback, I will make sure to pass it to the appropriate team.

Are you now able to run XDK normally?

Let me know.

-Peter.

Hi Peter,

Thanx for follow-up. I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 on my Joule and am happily playing around with PyCharm. As for XDK, I am facing a new problem of ssh connection to Joule from XDK IoT edition on Mac. I posted a new question about this. The ssh setup that worked for Ostro XT does not seem to work for Ubuntu. According to your suggestion, I confirmed the version of mraa as v1.5.1. Node.js is v6.9.1. XDK is 3641. Please kindly have a look at the thread 108577.

cheers,

sorrow

Hi welcomesorrow,

Thank you for letting us know!

Since this is a different question, we'll continue the support in the new thread (https://communities.intel.com/thread/108577 https://communities.intel.com/thread/108577).
