From your prompt it looks like you're running the command in /usr/local/lib/node_modules. So what module are you trying to build?

[TooTallNate]

Exception: binding.gyp not found (cwd: /usr/local/lib/node_modules) while trying to load binding.gyp

^ That

[ashalaenko]

So, I tried to use that :
npm install iconv -g

And got this error.

[TooTallNate]

@ashalaenko Can you output the entire log including the command?

[jamcoupe]

I am getting the same issue, is there a solution?

I'm experiencing this issue too. What was the resolution?

[TooTallNate]

Everyone, node-gyp configure must be run from the root directory of a node module. @jamcoupe Invoking it at / is likely not what you want to do.

[gavinr]

Thanks @TooTallNate. I agree. Just to reiterate, if you are getting this error you need to go to the node module folder (for me this was happening with node-sqlserver, located at USERDIR/node_modules/node-sqlserver) and run the node-gyp configure command from there. Thanks!

hello guys,

• @TooTallNate

I'm having a problem trying to running node-sqlserver on my windows 7 machine...
Already have installed and working
-node.js
-appFog
-ruby (command prompt)
-python

So what i've done so far is to download everything in one "test" folder, when try to execute the node-gyp configure im gettin this:

C:\Users\jonathan.barquero\Documents\node.js source\test>node-gyp configure

I know im getting the "gyp: binding.gyp not found (cwd: C:\Users\jonathan.barquero\Documents\node.js so
urce\test) while trying to load binding.gyp" but wondering why im getting this error if i do have everything nested in one folder

in within the folder node_modules i have the two github projects (node-gyp & node-sqlserver)

I already tryed to go to the node module folder as @gavreh mentioned but it didnt worked i got the same result, so im afraid im still not getting how to solve this, could any of you guys help me a bit

Thanks!
Appreciate it

I'm currently getting the same problem.

[ganna-shmatova]

one of about 7 issues i've been having installing node-gyp

[kala725]

Try running the following commands and then run npm install, this will take the node's default node-gyp module. (No need to have multiple as node package already provides that)

Updating the node & NPM

sudo npm cache clean -f
sudo npm install -g n
sudo n 4.4.5
sudo npm install npm -g

Removing additional Node-gyp module

sudo npm uninstall node-gyp -g
sudo npm uninstall node-gyp
