Installing Logio on Redhat - connect fails

[Johnny Costello]

I am trying to install the latest build on Rehat. I cannot get the connect requirement to install.

I end up getting this error.

 Is there a way to install connect without using NPM? For some reason it always fails for me and this was on multiple servers.

Hi.

I've installed it on Cenots 6 according this build recipe https://github.com/NarrativeScience/Log.io/wiki/v0.2.7-Build-Recipe-(Ubuntu-12.04) without any problems.

Aren't you having permission issues on /tmp folder?

I have also found this post https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/npm-/zzBgkvp8ZyU which may be relevant to yours.

No, I do not have permissions problems on tmp. I ran the install as both root and sudo.

I ran the build recipe on Redhat 6 and Ubuntu and it worked fine. But it fails on multiple clean installs of CentOS 5.8 and Redhat 5.8 which my environment runs on. 

I thought it maybe related to connect because that was the prerequisite it always failed on. I was unable to install any version of Connect except 0.5.0. I posted in connect forums and they pointed me to a possible problem with the node version and connect. node fails to install on the latest version and that maybe be what was affecting this.

I finally got everything to work by using con...@0.5.0 for...@0.9.0 and sock...@0.6.17

Not sure why connect fails but that seems to be the culprit with 5.8 version of Cent. I am going to go to the Node people are see if I can work out why node is failing to install any version of connect other than 0.5.0
