Does not build on Python >3.0, with error: js-bson: Failed to load c++ bson extension, using pure JS version about meteor-sharejs HOT 6 CLOSED

We're depending on the same version of Mongo as Meteor: https://github.com/meteor/meteor/blob/devel/packages/mongo-livedata/package.js#L16.

Is it possible that you have an old smart.lock file lying around? (delete it.) What OS are you using?

from meteor-sharejs.

hey mizzao, thanks for replying. I removed the smart.lock but still the same error. I am on latest Arch Linux.

Do you have this issue when you do a regular npm install mongodb outside of a Meteor app? Are you on 32-bit or 64-bit? It definitely seems to be something that is part of mongodb: https://github.com/mongodb/js-bson

from meteor-sharejs.

Outside of Meteor the problem does not occur, and I am on 64 bit. I set up a clean new meteor project with mrt sharejs and still the same error. I think it is some mongo configuration problem, but have not figured out yet what to do.

I solved it. there was a build error message produced by the sharejs bson module which came with mongodb in '~/.meteorite/packages/sharejs/mizzao/meteor-sharejs/1d8137b59906ce210b2f5c015b7b142735bc2f4e/.npm/package/node_modules/mongodb/node_modules/bson/'

it basically said it does not support python > 3.0, so manually rebuilding with python2.7 solved it.

I updated the title in case anyone else runs into this.

How is it possible that the build process outside of Meteor used the right version of Python, but inside Meteor it used a different version?
