GeoIP on Ubuntu 13.10

[JasonPunyon]

On a fresh new Ubuntu 13.10 VM and running `sudo npm install geoip -g --verbose' gives me the following:

Halp?

[JasonPunyon]

OK, it looks like this really has to do with npm@1.3.15. I downgraded to 1.3.14 and everything worked.

[bretcope]

The problem is specifically an upgrade from node-gyp v0.11.0 to v0.12.0 (see versions diff).

The important part of the @JasonPunyon's output is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/gyp/gyp_main.py", line 18, in 
    sys.exit(gyp.script_main())
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'script_main'

I'm not familiar enough with node-gyp, or python, to know exactly what the problem is or how to fix it, but it seems to stem from script_main being added to the code and whatever it is supposed to represent doesn't appear to be present in the geoip module. Let us know if it is possible to update geoip to work with the latest node-gyp, or if an issue needs to be created on that repository.

@bretcope

What exactly is script_main ? It's a new key in package.json?

[bretcope]

No, I don't think so. It's supposed to be a function called from here. I found a definition here, and here are the search results inside the project. Whatever is supposed to happen for gyp.script_main to become a function isn't happening.

I don't know enough about the build process to know what that would be or to really ask the right questions, I was just trying to make your life a little easier by doing some initial debugging.

In my Ubuntu 13.10 I also get an error when installing GeoIP. The error seems to be different but it also says that the installation fails in node-gyp rebuild. Here is the output:
