/coffee: No such file or directory

[kozzbc]

Ok I've been trying to get this installed for 3 days now, I don't know if I'm using the correct version of node and npm or if I'm missing some modules. I've searched high and low but I cannot find the answers. I'm trying to get this installed on ubuntu 12.04 beta2, maybe thats the problem?

Here's the error I'm getting, any guidance is greatly appreciated

groovebasin@0.0.5 install /home/devin/node_modules/groovebasin

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. I'll see about getting a virtual ubuntu 12.04 beta2 going today to see if I can duplicate the issue.

But anyway what's happening is it's looking for the coffee binary at ./node_modules/coffee-script/bin and is unable to find it. So something is different than I expected when writing that Makefile. One thing you can try is installing from source instead of npm - checkout the master branch of groovebasin, and do this:

sudo npm link
make
npm -g start groovebasin

I appreciate the fast reply,

So now I have cloned the git, and it linked to npm and the make both worked without error, but when I try to start GB I have a new error refering to server.js, I guess it might be missing from somewhere, Heres the last part of the error

devin@mainserver:~$ npm -g start groovebasin

All those warnings are configuration options in /etc/mpd.conf that you should change.

But the kicker is the error - error - [5@0] {} unknown command "subscribe"

"subscribe" command is a newish feature of mpd and does not exist in the version in ubuntu's package manager. You'll have to compile mpd from source to get the latest features.

To compile mpd from source will go something like this:

git clone git://github.com/superjoe30/mpd.git
cd mpd
sudo apt-get build-dep mpd
sudo apt-get install autoconf build-essential
autoreconf .
(might be some instructions you need to follow here)
./configure
make
sudo make install

Ok great, thanks for the heads up on that, I'll try it out when I get back home and let you know how it works out, sounds prommising :)

[kozzbc]

Ok I finally had a chance to give this another try today, I was missing libtool, then I tried the steps above to compile from source again, but it was throwing errors when I ran the autoreconf . command, I did a little searching and tried with autoreconf -isfv , that worked and so did the ./configure make and sudo make install. So now when I start grovebasin with npm -g start groovebasin, I does start with a few warnings, and I can now load it in my browsers on the other pc's in my network. But I cannot start the mpd and the /etc/mpd.conf file is missing, Did it install correctly? do I need to manually launch it form my /home/user/mpd directory?

[andrewrk]

when you install mpd from source, you run it by running the "mpd" binary and optionally passing as a parameter the path to the conf file. Since you compiled mpd from source, you have to create the conf file - you'll want to copy it from /doc/mpdconf.example to where you want. I like to put it at /etc/mpd.conf, and I think that it will automatically find it there if you don't pass a parameter.

[andrewrk]

be sure to check out the warnings - they should clue you in as to what conf options to set in mpd.conf.

[kozzbc]

Great I have a copy of my last mpd.conf that I just dropped into /etc/ , But I'm not exactly sure where to find the mpd binary to launch it. I'm doing everything on a headless server distro over putty from my win machine so I dont have the luxury of a full desktop hehe

[andrewrk]

If you did sudo make install, it should be in /usr/local/bin.

[kozzbc]

Duhh LOL nevermind, I just figured it out, simply typing mpd in terminal starts it, I should of known better

Thanks a lot for all the help and keep up all the great work with this great project

[andrewrk]

Thank you, I hope you enjoy using it. Feedback welcome.

This works for me on Ubuntu 12.04.
