bufferutil.node validation.node is not an ELF file

[iamblue]

I installed cylon-api.socketio on my Arduino yun, it shows:

/usr/bin/nodejs: '/root/app/node_modules/cylon-api-socketio/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/engine.io/node_modules/ws/build/Release/bufferutil.node' is not an ELF file

/usr/bin/nodejs: '/root/app/node_modules/cylon-api-socketio/node_modules/socket.io/node_modules/socket.io-client/node_modules/engine.io-client/node_modules/ws/build/Release/validation.node' is not an ELF file

How can I fix this problem ?
thx!

I think the Yun does not have dev tools for compiling, or enough memory to install npm packages directly in the OpenWRT distro. If you installed the npm packages in your host computer and then copy them over, the ones that need to compile source files will not work on the Yun since it has a different processor with a different set of instructions, I think that is the message you are seeing.

Let me know if that makes sense. If you want to do that you'll need to cross compile the files.

Did you had any luck with this? were you able to cross compile?
