issue installing nodejs

[vijay.santhanam@…]

Heya, sorry - I dunno where to find my log cos the stdout doesn't say where to get it.

But here's the stdout... not sure if that helps.. please let me know where I can find the log

It should say where the log is. The fact that it didn't suggests your MacPorts is out of date. Run selfupdate to update it. Then clean nodejs and try again.

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port clean nodejs
sudo port install nodejs

If it fails again, attach the main.log.

The main log of this port install attempt

Hi Ryan, I've followed your steps and I get a similar error, but now the stdout tells me where the main.log is -- see attached. Let me know if you need more info. Thanks.

The log shows this is a duplicate of #28562. Deactivate libev (you'll have to force this if you have any other port installed that's using libev), clean nodejs, install nodejs, then reactivate libev.

sudo port -f deactivate libev
sudo port clean nodejs
sudo port install nodejs
sudo port activate libev
