Install error -npm taglib about stretto HOT 5 CLOSED

My initial reaction would be to say that this is an upstream error, but I'll try to help out.

Is taglib-config in your PATH? check by running taglib-config in your terminal you are running the app from.

Okay, since I had time on my hands, and I saw you were running debian 7, I decided I would download it, spin up a VM and try to reproduce your issue. And sure enough, I ran into your issue. The key problem is simply that debian 7 has an old version of taglib that doesn't work with node-taglib. To fix this I tried a few things and the easiest in the end was to uninstall taglib, recompile taglib from source and then link it so that it was in my path. Like so:

(as root)

$ apt-get remove libtag1-dev
# package gets removed
# clone taglib from source
$ git clone https://github.com/taglib/taglib.git
# makes a directory called taglib
$ cd taglib
# start compiling as per https://github.com/taglib/taglib/blob/master/INSTALL
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .
$ make
# wait for it to compile
# install it
$ make install
# symlink it (it's not auto-installed to /usr/bin
$ ln -s /usr/local/bin/taglib-config /usr/bin/taglib-config
# now test it worked
$ taglib-config --version
# should show 1.9.1

Now run npm install again and you should be good to go! :)

Damn, many thanks for taking time to help me... I did all you said but I'm still stucked with this error I already get :

taglib-config --version
1.9.1

It is working well without 'taglib' calls into 'library_functions.js' file.

Btw, I'm very interrested by your project, and I plan to work on tasks such as cross-fade, queue viewing and remote connection (or client mobile access).

Ok I had enough time to do what you said properly, without forgetting to clean the node_modules/ folder. Now working. Thanks again!

No worries! I hope you enjoy the music player :)

Also if you are considering implementing features, open an issue for each of them first so we can discuss the implementation before you go about it, it'll give you the best chance of being merged :)
