如何在Gentoo基本系统1.6.14版上安装nodejs？

Question

I tried 1) emerge nodejs

!!! ARCH is not set... Are you missing the '/etc/make.profile' symlink?
!!! Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?

2) downloading from Linux Binaries nodejs (tried both 32 and 64bits)

bin # ./node
Exception en point flottant

3) from code source:

Waf: Leaving directory `/node-v0.4.10/build'

make: *** [program] Erreur 1

What else could I try ? Is there a ready to go precompiled for gentoo 64 bits ?

Answer 1

If you are getting the error about ARCH not being set, than you really need to resolve it first before attempting to install more packages.

So, how well maintained is your current box? At a minimum, see if the following helps: a) eselect profile list, eselect profile set b) Make sure that your customizations to /etc/make.conf are in that file and the contents look correct.
c) emerge --sync

I'm guessing your portage tree is out of sync and that updating it via emerge --sync is the real issue. However, if you are so far out of date, you'll have other issues you'll need to address to bring the box current. Gentoo systems are supposed to be updated at least once/year at a minimum, preferably once/month.

Otherwise, as far as node.js goes: 0.10.21 is the latest stable in the tree, go ahead and retry by selecting that package for install.

emerge -v =net-libs/nodejs-0.10.21
