[Nodejs] nodejs and npm Illegal instruction (core dumped)

[marbi]

I've installed latest nodejs package from repo and every time i try to run a npm command i'm getting Illegal instruction (core dumped)


$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@raspberrypi test]# npm install
Illegal instruction (core dumped)')

Also I've tried to run a simple app and I'm getting same message:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@raspberrypi test]# node app.js
Illegal instruction (core dumped)')

By the way node --help, or node -v are working ok.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@raspberrypi test]# node -v
v0.12.0')

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[root@raspberrypi test]# node --help
Usage: node [options] [ -e script | script.js ] [arguments]

I'm runnig

I'm getting exactly the same problem on all my PIs since I did a pacman -Syu recently.

[ ~]$ node -v
v0.12.0

[ ~]$ node
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

[ ~]$ npm
Illegal instruction (core dumped)

Now we hope that this package was tested before being submitted. I noticed nobody has got back to the original poster yet.

What's the easiest way to roll back to the previous version of the package and then hold back this update until further notice?

Example
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U http://rollback.archlinuxarm.org/month/armv6h/community/nodejs-0.10.36-2-armv6h.pkg.tar.xz')

[marbi]

Rollback to previous version. Everything is normal now.

Thanks for the support.

Regards.

Roll-back to previous version also worked for me.

Is someone (i.e. the package maintainer) going to look at the issue? How do we flag it with him?

Thanks,

Alex

Yes. We're looking into it. Joys of people making assumptions in their configure scripts.

Also: npm uses nodejs .. so of course it also fails.

Already rolled back to previous version. Just out of curiousity, what is the status with new pakage?

[fuzzycow101]

Having the same problem. Tried using the rollback:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -U http://rollback.archlinuxarm.org/month/armv6h/community/nodejs-0.10.36-2-armv6h.pkg.tar.xz')

But it says that the file doesn't exist... I checked the directory and it has been updated to nodejs-0.12.0-3-armv6h.pkg.tar.xz. I installed this one and I get the same Illegal instruction (core dumped) error.

Any help I can get would be appreciated.

Once they release 0.12.1, this should be fixed.

As for the rollback, perhaps pay attention to how the system stores packages. Perhaps that /month/ needs updated... ?
