i'm trying to build Nodejs from my Gentoo Linux distribution but i get the following error: 

Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1): {task... etc.}

I've tried many tutorials or commands but i'm no server administration expert. Has anyone succesfully isntalled nodejs on Gentoo ? If yes, what were the commands do did pass ?

Thank you in advance

  • It's impossible to tell without emerge --info and the missing build log (and then you should also build with MAKEOPTS="-j1" if possible). – Saucier Apr 07 '13 at 18:37

Sometimes, you may want to try a "testing" version of a package if the stable does not build. It's safer to avoid packages that are not stable, but in a pinch you can try:

emerge flaggie
flaggie net-libs/nodejs -- +~amd64 # or ~x86
emerge =net-libs/nodejs-0.10.26 # works for me^tm
