Octoblu/alljoyn installation failing in Ubuntu 14.04 and Raspberry about alljoyn HOT 6 OPEN

We currently do not support node 0.12. IIRC version 0.10.35 is the best supported version of node for AllJoyn. We are currently working on a big improvement to this library and will be able to provide much better AllJoyn support.

Thank you.

Any news about this? I tried to install your alljoyn module today on a raspberry and it stops the installation with similar error messages. Why is a specific node version so important? Thanks :)

I believe this is because the path for node has changed from /usr/bin/node to /usr/bin/nodejs.

If on a Debian-based system, try doing sudo apt-get install nodejs-legacy. Or you can just symlink /usr/bin/nodejs to /usr/bin/node. This worked for me.

Thanks for the feedback. I installed already node.js 0.10.35 which seems to have memory-leaking issues. But I am not sure about this. Everything runs fine, but somehow (running Express.js) as well, node is acquiring 1MB of RAM after each call. Within ours there seems not to be any kind of garbage collection. I am profiling my scripts tomorrow and will let you know about it. Remember, this has nothing to do with this package.

Looks like the latest node version available on Ubuntu (at least the 14.04 LTS version I'm currently using) is 0.10.25. I'll try it with 0.12.x soon.

Also, in what may be a related issue, my node script is unable to find advertised names of other Alljoyn devices on the network, only other instances of itself running on the local machine. I've followed the examples to a T. Is there a chance this is because of the way this version of node handles networking?
