is 4.2.0 the oldest version that doesn't compile? Have 4.0/4.1 or older versions compiled successfully for you?

[daveallen]

0.12.7 was the last one that I can build. I tested 4.0.0, 4.1.0, 4.2.0, 4.2.1 and those failed with the same error.

[jasonkarns]

I'm going to keep this issue open in case someone can figure out the build issue. But for now (unless you actually need to compile from source) I recommend you just pull the distro down manually from http://nodejs.org/dist/v4.2.1/

Extract the tarball into $(nodenv root)/versions and you're good to go (though you'll probably want to rename that version). We're currently working on getting distro-installation into node-build as a first class installation method, which would remove the need for everyone to do their own compilation. But for now, we're still operating as a pure fork of ruby-build which doesn't do distros.

[daveallen]

Thanks! I am here because of ruby-build. I use node-build without nodenv to install versions on my servers and then switch the app to point to what ever version we need. Also allows us to use multiple apps that use different versions on the same server for collaboration servers so we can use our whole system on one machine.
Thanks for node-build!

[daveallen]

Found a fix.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gcc-4.9 g++-4.9
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.9 50
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.9 50

This is what it takes. I just added this to Chef in my node-build cookbook.
Thanks Again!!

[jasonkarns]

@daveallen so it seems you had to use gcc 4.9. Could I ask which version of gcc was it that failed?

[daveallen]

It was 4.6.3.

[jasonkarns]

closing in favor of #72

[shreyas130989]

Thanks daveallen,
Your fix worked for me :)
