Installation errorr on CentOS

[marcolino]

I'm trying to install node-phash on CentOS release 6.6:

npm install phash

The errors I get:

> node-gyp rebuild

Before installing phash, I did follow the instructions to install phash libraries (found on http://nerdanswer.com/answer.php?q=114662):

$ wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/cimg/CImg-1.6.6.zip
$ unzip CImg-1.6.6.zip
$
$ wget http://phash.org/releases/pHash-0.9.6.tar.gz
$ tar xvf pHash-0.9.6.tar.gz
$
$ cp CImg-1.5.4/CImg.h pHash-0.9.6/src/
$
$ cd pHash-0.9.6
$ ./configure --enable-video-hash=no --enable-audio-hash=no
$ make
$ sudo make install

Any suggestion?

this might be because this library needs node-gyp which in turn supports python2 and it needs GCC so if you are using centos try running
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"
or
yum install -y gcc g++ kernel-devel
for minimal dev tools.then run npm to install library in case of ubuntu try running
sudo apt-get install -y build-essential before running npm.

Better late than never... :-) I will try your suggestion, thanks...
