[SOLVED] Installing Node.js on Linaro Ubuntu

Has anyone tried installing Node.js on Linaro Ubuntu 11.10?

The repository has v0.4.9-1ubuntu3 that is pretty outdated, so I tried building it from source code.

This is the error message I get at the `make` step:

Code:

/usr/bin/python tools/gyp_node -f make
make -C out BUILDTYPE=Release V=1
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ubuntu/node-v0.10.21/out'
make[1]: Warning: File `../deps/openssl/openssl.gyp' has modification time 1.4e+09 s in the future
  ./tools/gyp_node -fmake --ignore-environment "--toplevel-dir=." -I/home/ubuntu/node-v0.10.21/common.gypi -I/home/ubuntu/node-v0.10.21/config.gypi "--depth=." "-Goutput_dir=/home/ubuntu/node-v0.10.21/out" "--generator-output=/home/ubuntu/node-v0.10.21/out" "-Dcomponent=static_library" "-Dlibrary=static_library" node.gyp
/bin/sh: ./tools/gyp_node: not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ubuntu/node-v0.10.21/out'

If anyone had success installing Node v0.10, please share with us

I finally got it to work!!! (v0.10.21)

I got passed the above error by setting the system clock.

Then I met Segmentation Fault so I compiled it without snapshot:

Code:

./configure --without-snapshot
make

(If you do make -j4, it fails sometimes because it runs out of memory.)

Now you have a working node binary on Linaro Ubuntu.

I shared compiled binaries here: https://github.com/pilwon/nodejs-for-linaro-ubuntu
