scripts/install.js hangs on OSX 10.10

[ilyador]

$ npm install dtrace-provider
|
> [email protected] install /Users/.../server/node_modules/dtrace-provider
> scripts/install.js

And nothing happens for a long time.

What version of node?

Can you try running again with V=1 npm install dtrace-provider to get verbose output?

I'm having the same issue. I tried using V=1 npm install dtrace-provider as suggested above however it did not output anything.

Using node 0.10.34

Actually I was just able to get the following error.

> [email protected] install /Users/.../app/node_modules/dtrace-provider
> node scripts/install.js


fs.js:555

@indieisaconcept Is that compile.py file there in your tree? What is the full path there, "/Users/.../app/node_modules/node_modules/dtrace-provider/compile.py"? Are there spaces or non-ascii chars involved there?

Does this work:

$ node
> var fs = require('fs');
> fs.existsSync('/Users/.../app/node_modules/node_modules/dtrace-provider/compile.py')  # using the actual full path

If you try to build your module using dtrace-provider a second time, does it work? (e.g. I've seen races in npm before, tho usually only when pulling directly from git repos).

I have the same issue in CircleCI job building a docker container:

> [email protected] install /nectar-toolbox/node_modules/dtrace-provider
> node scripts/install.js

@tklo Which dependency of yours is pulling in [email protected]? I released 0.8.6 a week ago which reworked the build scripts, and should hopefully improve the build process.
