problem installing alt with react-native 0.20-rc

[vladp]

Hello,
I cannot seem to successfully install Alt (npm installs it,but then I get the below error when doing
react-native-start

I had tried independently including fbemitter, and also tried moving the alt and fbemitter before or after react-native depedency in package.json. That did not help.

    "dependencies": {
    "fbemitter":"^2.0.2",
    "alt":"^0.18.2",


    "react-native": "0.20.0-rc1",

    "@remobile/react-native-splashscreen": "^1.0.3",


    "react-native-blur": "^0.7.6",
    "react-native-htmlview": "^0.2.0",


    "react-native-action-button": "^1.1.2",
    "react-native-android-statusbar": "^0.1.2",
    "react-native-material-kit": "^0.3.0", 
    "react-native-material-design": "^0.3.2"

    }

error:

+1 I have the same problem with a naming collision with React Native >= 0.18 due to the fbjs package.

It seems like you can just npm install fbjs and reuse that package.

suggestion to install fbjs is not working for me

rm -rf node_modules/
npm install --no-shrinkwrap
react-native start

Solution suggested also does not work for our team. +1

I solved the issue by adding the module "fbjs" at the version 0.6.1 in dependencies and removing with a postinstall script the folder "node_modules/flux/node_modules" (I don't know why but there is a very old alpha version dependency). If you want I can upload my package.json file and the postinstall script.

@valecassani the above suggestion (to use fjbjs 0.6.1) did not work for me either, got the same error as when using fbjs 0.7.2.

@valecassani I had not followed your complete suggestion, and left the flux's copy of fbjs in.
I think you had nailed the problem.
I checked and flux has this issue reported. However they do not plan to address it, instead suggested to wait for next release of react-native that supposedly would allow multiple copies of fbjs to coexist..

It is not an issue with alt.
