B,

I got tired of looking for your e-mail on the mailing list, so I’ll just put the list in reply. This is the danger of e-mailing me support questions directly–not something I like too much.

Excellent thanks for the quick response!

Hi all - I am running into the same problem - but the workaround does not seem to fix it. It gets me past the “bad python” call - but does not compile. Any insights? Thanks

And I figured out my error…

if you type:

beaglebone# nano /usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configsre.js

search for semver.lt and replace

if (semver.gte(version, ‘2.5.0’) && semver.lt(version, ‘3.0.0’)) {
getNodeDir()
} else {
failPythonVersion(version)
}

with

// if (semver.gte(version, ‘2.5.0’) && semver.lt(version, ‘3.0.0’)) {
getNodeDir()
// } else {
// failPythonVersion(version)
// }

Then a quick
beaglebone# node -pe “require(‘bonescript’).getPlatform().bonescript”

returns 0.2.3

I know that this is an old thread now, but I had the same problems, followed this solution and now I am getting an error about node-gyp failing to import module filecmp. Any ideas?

Thanks, Josh

Not sure why that, but I've found a newer work-around to the original
problem that avoids editing configure.js:

TERM=dumb npm install -g bonescript
