npm install failing...? about rethinkdb-example-nodejs-chat HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi @tony-kerz , it looks like this is a v8 version mismatch of some sort. It looks like your node is up to date, but perhaps node-gyp needs to be updated?

from rethinkdb-example-nodejs-chat.

per this i tried:

npm explore npm -g -- npm install node-gyp@latest

but still:

~/g/rethinkdb-example-nodejs-chat (master) $ npm install
\
> [email protected] install /Users/tony/git/rethinkdb-example-nodejs-chat/node_modules/bcrypt
> node-gyp rebuild

  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/bcrypt_lib/src/blowfish.o
  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/bcrypt_lib/src/bcrypt.o
  CXX(target) Release/obj.target/bcrypt_lib/src/bcrypt_node.o
../src/bcrypt_node.cc:118:18: error: no member named 'Dispose' in 'v8::Persistent<v8::Function, v8::NonCopyablePersistentTraits<v8::Function> >'
        callback.Dispose();

Can you npm install bcrypt by itself?

from rethinkdb-example-nodejs-chat.

this suggests deleting your ~/.node-gyp directory.

I change the package.json so bcrypt is the latest version then it compiled

from rethinkdb-example-nodejs-chat.

@deontologician should we change the bcrypt version in our package.json or would that have other side effects?
