I have installed both nodejs, and the module couchbase via npm. couchbase is installed too, and I can access to the backend via the browser.

The same server.js file does work on windows.

I have installed python 2.7. am I missing something?

Im getting the Error: 

marcel@servermarcel:~/game$ nodejs server.js

/home/marcel/game/node_modules/couchbase/lib/binding.js:156
  throw new Error('Failed to locate couchnode native binding' +
        ^
Error: Failed to locate couchnode native binding (maybe check builderror.log!)

    at Module._compile (module.js:456:26)
    at Object.Module._extensions..js (module.js:474:10)

when I look into the builderror.log I see:

$all to 'node -e "require('nan')"' returned exit status 1.le trying to load binding.gyp

  • Hi! This post might be more fit for the superuser site, where you might have more luck (I think it's a borderline situation, though, as the error deals with java exceptions as well) – Rick77 Oct 19 '14 at 14:34

I had a similar issue. Turns out couchbase tries to run 

node -e "require(\'nan\')"

However on Ubuntu 14.04 with node installed through apt-get it's nodejs. I changed it to

nodejs -e "require(\'nan\')"

in node_modules/couchbase/binding.gyp file (near the bottom), then ran npm rebuild (from my project directory) and it worked.

  • thank you very much, sir! this solved my problem. had another problem then which was easily solved with [link](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24698159/error-connecting-to-couchbase-from-node-js-using-couchnode-module-v-1-2-4) – InsOp Oct 26 '14 at 19:11

I had the same error, however node -e -> nodejs -e replacement as mentioned above did NOT fix the problem. Upon more investigation into //node_modules/couchbase/builderror.log, python version expected was >2.5 and <3.0 (I have a windows box). So uninstalled python 3.4.x and installed 2.7.9. This fixed the problem for me !!
