Hi, care to provide uname -a and the exact error? Though I would suggest you stop by #node.js on freenode or post the make error to node.js user mailing list.

Hi, I want to install node.js in linux, but after execute “make”, it tells me:

“node-v0.4.12/deps/v8/src/mksnapshot.cc:29.18:error: string: No such file or directory”

could you help me please?

That’s a tough situation you’re in, Bill, and it’s hard to suggest anything without accessing the environment. Perhaps try reinstalling python? and also try the different packages out there?

What I usually do in such situation is to revert back from the last image backup, or rebuild the environment from scratch (I assume you have an installation script that you used when you first set up the server), I think that’s better than being down for 4 days trying to manually fix weird errors one by one.

Good luck!

I’m having the same issue on a Solaris 10 box. It’s a sunfire x4100 and I’m trying to install mailman-2.1.14. I’m recovering from a system crash using new hardware, I’ve been down for almost four days, and I’ve got a lot of people breathing down my neck.

I make it through ./configure, but “make install” yields:

Compiling /usr/local/mailman/Mailman/versions.py …
Traceback (most recent call last):

The following command caused the error:
(cd /usr/local/mailman ; test -n “” || bin/update)
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `update’

I tried putting your symbolic links in /lib, but I kept getting the same error.
