This is on OSX Lion latest gitteh (as of 1/24/2012)

Attempting to install via 'npm install gitteh -g'

installing libgit2 via package manager (brew install libgit2) did a trick for me.

[nborwankar]

Hmm. Not sure why that would make a difference - gitteh installs its own
self-contained libgit2 src and builds it - its at v 0.11.
I tried the brew install and it seems to install 0.30.
I then tried npm install gitten again - no luck.

Sorry, my bad. It was probably one of the forked branches that upgraded to libgit2 v0.15 that I managed to install to my local npm registry.

[nborwankar]

I have managed to get pygit2(python) and Rugged (ruby) bindings working
but not the nodejs one which I want so much.
I think there's a pull request waiting to be accepted that has the fixes
for the bugs - but the request hasn't been accepted yet.
I manually added the changes from the pull request to my local repo but
still get errors in the build :-(

https://github.com/davman99/node-gitteh/ worked for me after installing libgit2 v 0.16
$ git clone https://github.com/davman99/node-gitteh.git $ npm pack

[nborwankar]

Wow! thanks much that worked for me.
How are you going to use this?
I am working on creating a REST accessible database based on Git - am
curious if you would like to participate in/use/test/blog about this effort.
Have a couple of other devs interested one is a CouchDB committer.
Pl. let me know - and thanks very much for the help.

+1 Exact same problem here.

And the tip about brew install libgit2 first worked for me, but it'd be much better if I could install it only from npm.

[ghost]

Same problem here, but @nborwankar's suggestion works for me as well.

[iamwilhelm]

With brew removing 0.16 from its repos, and me needing to install it on ubuntu (libgit2 doesn't provide pre-compiles), I needed to be able to install gitteh v0.1.0 through npm. The current gitteh at v0.1.0 is broken, and you cannot install and compile from source.

I spent the better part of the day looking into how to get npm to install gitteh. As it turns out, gitteh v0.1.0 actually errors out with libgit2 versions 0.10.0 through 0.16.0, for two reasons:

• its wscript file for node-waf assumes libgit2 also uses node-waf. libgit2 has since changed to cmake.
• there are some bugs in gitteh v0.1.0 that

I fixed the wscript to directly clone the v0.16.0 of libgit2, instead of relying on submodules, since node-waf didn't seem to like that.

To solve the second point, it's been noted on above that davman99's master does, but its wscript isn't working.

I've merged dave's changes with the fixes for wscript so you can install gitteh "v0.1.0" from npm.

In your package.json, put:

"dependencies": {
  "gitteh": "git://github.com/cubehero/node-gitteh.git"
}

And run

npm install

and it should be able to install.

[mildsunrise]

Just to note, the first mentioned error (regarding eio with bad arguments) happens with
most modules because libuv/libeio has been upgraded and his API has changed. [see libeio history]

[mildsunrise]

Try to install gitteh (0.17.2) now. There shouldn't be any problem.

[samcday]

Like @jmendeth stated, a new version of gitteh is out that should address this issue.
