I have been working my way thru the book "Programming the BBB Getting started with Javascript and BoneScript using my BBB REV A5C board When I try and install the Node library's i2c and serialport it fails and I see what might be a key statement in the terminal dump. I see the same error message in both the i2c and serialport attempts to install.
ImportError: No module named compiler.ast The procedure I am using is as follows for the serialport library same method for i2c with npm install -g i2c sh-4.2# date Thu Aug 7 22:48:56 UTC 2014 sh-4.2# npm update sh-4.2# npm config set strict-ssl false sh-4.2# npm install -g serialport I am using the latest image of Angstrom from BB.org and it fails the same if I boot from an SDcard or Flash version. I wonder if the latest image has passed by the A5C board?? I also have a BBB REV C board and the procedure worked fine for i2c and I can use the Adafruit 7Seg display with the node library. Here is the terminal capture from trying to install serialport sh-4.2# npm install -g serialport npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/serialport npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/serialport npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/serialport/-/serialport-1.4.5.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/serialport/-/serialport-1.4.5.tgz npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings/1.2.1 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/async/0.9.0 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sf/0.1.7 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nan npm http 304 https://registry.npmjs.org/nan npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/nan/-/nan-1.3.0.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/async/0.9.0 npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings/1.2.1 npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings/-/bindings-1.2.1.tgz npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist/-/optimist-0.6.1.tgz npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/async/-/async-0.9.0.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/sf/0.1.7 npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/sf/-/sf-0.1.7.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/optimist/-/optimist-0.6.1.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/async/-/async-0.9.0.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/nan/-/nan-1.3.0.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/bindings/-/bindings-1.2.1.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/sf/-/sf-0.1.7.tgz npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/minimist npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap/-/wordwrap-0.0.2.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/minimist npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/minimist/-/minimist-0.0.10.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/wordwrap/-/wordwrap-0.0.2.tgz npm http 200 https://registry.npmjs.org/minimist/-/minimist-0.0.10.tgz /usr/bin/serialportlist -> /usr/lib/node_modules/serialport/bin/serialportList.js /usr/bin/serialportterm -> /usr/lib/node_modules/serialport/bin/serialportTerminal.js > [email protected] install /usr/lib/node_modules/serialport > node-pre-gyp install --fallback-to-build node-pre-gyp http GET https://node-serialport.s3.amazonaws.com/serialport/v1.4.5/Release/v8-3.11-linux-arm.tar.gz node-pre-gyp http 404 https://node-serialport.s3.amazonaws.com/serialport/v1.4.5/Release/v8-3.11-linux-arm.tar.gz node-pre-gyp http Pre-built binary not available for your system (falling back to source compile with node-gyp) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/gyp", line 15, in <module> import gyp File "/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/__init__.py", line 8, in <module> import gyp.input File "/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/pylib/gyp/input.py", line 5, in <module> from compiler.ast import Const ImportError: No module named compiler.ast <<<------ THE ERROR MESSAGE I AM REFERING TO gyp ERR! configure error gyp ERR! stack Error: `gyp` failed with exit code: 1 gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.onCpExit (/usr/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js:416:16) gyp ERR! stack at ChildProcess.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:99:17) gyp ERR! stack at Process._handle.onexit (child_process.js:678:10) gyp ERR!

The book is using the Angstrom distribution but maybe at a later revision the A5C and it works for Simon Monk Tom -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
