Package not building (git nor npm) about node-libvirt HOT 9 CLOSED

This is a python version issue. Check nodejs/node-gyp#363 switching the python version should be solving this at your end.

from node-libvirt.

@jmarceno any luck switching your python version?

from node-libvirt.

@c4milo , in part yes. Using python 2.6.9 as default I get a different error.
(same error installing from Git or NPM)
I'm running Ubuntu 13.10 and libvirt is installed.

npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/libvirt
npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/libvirt

Try, export PKG_CONFIG_PATH =/path/to/libvirt.pc

A fast locate returned no references to libvirt.pc

It was suposed to come with libvirt or with node-libvirt?

from node-libvirt.

It should come with libvirt. Did you get libvirt from package manager / similar or did you build it from a .tar?

Got libvirt from Ubuntu repositorie (apt-get).

from node-libvirt.

My two cents would be to download the libvirt tar and extract.

Then run:
./configure
make
make install

That way you will know for sure where libvirt.pc is located, which is the tar extracted directory. You can also control what hyperVISOR drivers you want during the configure process.

@vikhyath I was just trying it when you responded :)

Followed the instuctions (http://libvirt.org/compiling.html) and worked.
The instructions below are the key.

"
Be aware though, that binaries built with a custom prefix will not interoperate with OS vendor provided binaries, since the UNIX socket paths will all be different. To produce a build that is compatible with normal OS vendor prefixes, use

  $ ./autogen.sh --system
  $ make

"

@c4milo I believe that it would be great to place it (the instructions to install from source if the development machine is Ubuntu/Debian based.) at the Docs.

Tks for the help.
