Installation problem in OS.X 10.9

Hi

I am getting the following error while installing talib:

I have tried uninstalling and installing npm but ended in vain. I have command line tools, xcode completely installed. Please point me in the right direction. Thank you!

Please test 381668a. This fix will be pushed to npm soon.

[SrikanthKS]

Thank you for the quick response. Unfortunately I am getting the same error even after the new update!

[oransel]

Are you using the dev branch? You need to check out the latest dev and execute "npm install" in the root of the project.

[SrikanthKS]

Yes I am. I have tried "npm install" but it gives me the same error.

[oransel]

I don't have 10.9, but I doubt your OS version is the issue. If you are getting the same errors, you are still testing with the master branch.

Here is what I did to test:

$ git clone https://github.com/oransel/node-talib.git

Thank you for the update. I have removed my master file and cloned it like you did. Tried npm install again but got the same error. Should I assume that it's completely the issue with OS? If so, what would you suggest the fix to be?

[oransel]

The issues you are referring to is from the old version of this library. If you look at the main file (https://github.com/oransel/node-talib/blob/dev/src/talib.cpp), there is no reference to ObjectWrap any more, which makes me believe that you are not still testing the latest dev branch.

I would suggest to wait until the update is pushed to npm, if you are unable to switch to the dev branch.

[SrikanthKS]

How do I make sure I am testing the dev branch? Doesn't cloning the dev branch make sure? Could you please let me know how long it might take for the push to happen to npm?

[oransel]

You need to execute git checkout dev. Please refer to my example above.

[SrikanthKS]

Aha! It works now. Turns out I wasn't checking out the dev branch all along like you pointed out. Thanks a lot for the constant help :)
