Re: Node - npm install fails when "node-gyp rebuild" required

Yeah - same problem (as expected) regardless of the -g option.

I get a subtly different output to you (but the same version):

gmake -v
gmake: *** virtual memory exhausted. Stop. <<<<<<<<<<<<<Whoa!<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

npm install hiredis -g

Unless IBM has changed defaults of the Node.js install, you never want to install using the "-g" option as that will put it in IBM's Node.js folder which *could* be wiped out in the future. I usually install local to the current project (just remove -g option) or change the default global location to be in my /home directory.

What does "gmake -v" produce for you? Below is what I get. SO posts state gmake 3.80 had this issue.

% gmake -v

Interestingly, after running "./pkg_setup.sh pkg_perzl_gcc-4.8.3.lst"
and trying "npm install hiredis -g" again I didn't seem to get as far as you.
Instead I received:
