RPI2: Install error: "abort: m??$0??0????%:????:??$"

[ViDtje]

I used to run airsonos on the Raspberry Pi B+, but recently bought the Raspberry Pi 2. After I reinstalled everything again, I tried to install airsonos. But I always get an abort message.
Could it be that it has something to do with the new hardware?

The output is the following:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo npm install airsonos -g
abort: m??$0??0????%:????:??$

This looks similar to #75
I have a pi2 (thinking I could use the extra power to ensure good streaming) and had the same crash as you ViDtje. Node v0.10.36 and npm v1.4.28 whereas my build on a pi1 worked fine.

Any hints as to what to look at very welcome!

Strangely, after installing forever (as in issue 75), the build of airsonos seemed to complete, but I now get the same crash as that guy had. I won't post the whole trace, but it starts:

sudo airsonos
abort: m??$0??0????%:????:??$

I fixed it! I installed Node.js version 0.10.28 by compiling it on the Raspberry Pi itself. I used this walkthrough: http://www.armhf.com/node-js-for-the-beaglebone-black/ . You just need to make sure you install version 0.10.28. After that, I installed Airsonos, now everything works perfectly!

Awesome, thanks, that really helped me and fixed it for me too. I had to run

sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev libasound2-dev
npm install airsonos -g

to get my install to work but it did.

@ViDtje @stephen I followed those instructions (http://www.armhf.com/node-js-for-the-beaglebone-black/) but replaced 0.10.28 with 0.10.33 and it worked for me
