gyp_main.py: error: no such option: --no-parallel #426
Description
Activity
I've the same since I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04
Thanks for the hack, it works.
This is the commit that added the
--no-paralleloption.https://code.google.com/p/gyp/source/detail?r=1773&path=/trunk/pylib/gyp/__init__.py#
Hi. Is this hack still the best option?
Ah cool. I'll try that :)
If anyone is experiencing this problem on ubuntu, I hadn't realized that ubuntu has their own gyp package in the repositories that at some point got installed, as soon as I removed that, the npm version kicked I had installed in and this error went away(i.e. apt-get remove gyp)
Would it be too much to ask that node-gyp run
gyp --versionor some such and refrain from adding the--no-paralleloption if gyp is "too old"? That would save everyone a lot of trouble.@aviynw, thanks man, this solve my problem in Ubuntu 14.04!
OS : amazon Linux 3.14.23-22.44.amzn1.x86_64

{ [Error: Cannot find module '../build/Release/bson'] code: 'MODULE_NOT_FOUND' }

- I tried editing the
/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.jsfile but couldn't find--no-paralleloption anywhere on that file. - Then I upgraded node-gyp to
v1.0.3which is latest available, still throwing the following error

- I tried editing the
@JeremyWei yes that worked thanks 👍 .
Which means we have to do both the steps upgrade and then hackingconfigure.jsfile.@aviynw thanks, that worked for me, too
I tried to remove the gyp module, hack the configure.js file and it is still showing the same error. I also tried to remove the ~/.node-gyp folder. Still nothing.
I am using Debian Wheezy of BeagleBone Black
node v0.9.9
npm 0.2.15
node-gyp v2.0.2I ran into this problem and solved it via
sudo apt-get remove gyp.@aviynw removing it worked for me too, thanks!
Upgrading the version of gyp used by npm worked for me:
sudo npm explore npm -g -- npm install node-gyp@latesthttps://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/wiki/Updating-npm%27s-bundled-node-gyp
Upgrading bundled node-gyp didn't work for me, but removing OS gyp did. Thanks, @aviynw !
I tried to dig a little deeper into this. It just seems so wrong that you need to poke internals of bundled package or remove system packages. Looks like
runGypinnode-gyp/lib/configure.jsis genuinely trying to run the embedded gyp and only depend on python from OS// execute `gyp` from the current target nodedir argv.unshift(gyp_script) // make sure python uses files that came with this particular node package var pypath = new PathArray(process.env, 'PYTHONPATH') pypath.unshift(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'gyp', 'pylib'))But apparently that isolation effort fails. Looks like a bug to me.
It seems like upgrading
node-gypto a supported version will fix this problem, so going to close this this ticket for now since a fix has been identified.- added a commit that references this issue
