npm package manager from node.js returns EPROTOTYE error when running under Solaris 11.3

Please post the relevant error logging located at /export/home/wto/npm-debug.log.

Also, have you tried running the NPM using sudo? eg:

sudo npm -i

Select allOpen in new window

[EPROTOTYPE]
    Protocol wrong type for socket.

Which basically means that npm is not compiled correctly for your system.
Is it SPARC or PC system?

hi gheist

It's a x86 system. I used the csw.org packages.

Correction:

The Solaris is x64.

I downloaded the node.js package from the official site. The filename is "node-v0.12.2-sunos-x64.tar.gz".

This is the log

I tried the 32 and 64 bit versions for 0.12.2 and still gives the same error.

compile yourself. it is a problem with dynamic library loader. Probably you need a system update to run csw.org builds.

Hi gheist:

Do you think the "official builds" from nodejs.org require updated to csw.org libraries?

Hi gheist:

Only the node.js version built by Peter Tribble works on Solaris 11.3

Thanks for all help

I've requested that this question be closed as follows:

for the following reason:

A custom build is really required and I found that here: http://www.petertribble.co.uk/Solaris/node.html
