An installation issue

[umutm]

I was just trying to install the module to an AWS instance and couldn't manage to install net-ping.

I have tried with different Nodejs, npm and net-ping versions but all failed similarly.

It always worked fine with AWS and couldn't find out why it failed this time.

Here is the full install log and will be glad to get your thoughts.

Hi umutum,

Can you try updating line:

https://github.com/stephenwvickers/node-raw-socket/blob/master/src/raw.cc#L662

To:

Nan::Utf8String address (args[3]);

As well as line:

https://github.com/stephenwvickers/node-raw-socket/blob/master/src/raw.cc#L673

I don't have your version of node/etc. to hand.

Regards

Steve

It has now installed with the latest version of Nodejs (without making any changes). Sorry that I had thought it was incompatible with Nodejs v4.

Thanks very much.
