sqlite3 installation error

[kusmayadi]

I tried to install codem-transcode using npm on OS X Mavericks: sudo npm install -g codem-transcode but I got this following errors:

> sqlite3@2.1.19 install /usr/local/lib/node_modules/sqlite3
> node build.js

I understand that this is sqlite3 issue, but is there any way to bypass this? I successfully installed sqlite3 using: sudo npm install -g sqlite3 --build-from-source

Hi, I'm able to install node and codem-transcode just fine on a clean Mavericks install:

# brew install node
[...]
# npm install codem-transcode
[...]
> sqlite3@2.1.19 install /Users/tieleman/node_modules/codem-transcode/node_modules/sqlite3
> node build.js

The Error: ENOENT, open '/Users/koes/tmp/node-sqlite3-Release/node_sqlite3-v2.1.a-node-v11-darwin-x64.tar.gz' error seems to imply that the install script can't open the downloaded sqlite3 file. Have you checked it is there and downloaded correctly? It might be that it's a failed download from AWS or something.

Mind you, I have not tried installing it globally (as it is not recommended by npm). Does it work if you do not use the -g flag? Make sure to remove any tmp files before reinstalling.

Hi @kusmayadi, any luck with this? Otherwise I'm going to close the issue. I don't seem to have any issues with getting sqlite3 installed on Mavericks.

I had to wget (curl -O) it manually on Lion. I won't assume it as fixed, though it seems a minor problem.
