npm aerospike install issue

Question

I am trying to install aerospike npm module v 1.0.21 using npm install aerospike@1.0.21 however I get a semi-cryptic error message. I have tried installing multiple versions of the Aerospike C Library, and multiple versions of node (ranging from 0.10.22 to 0.10.38 to latest) with no luck. This is on os x 10.9. Every thread suggested installing lua or using different versions of the Aaerospike C Library.

Any particular reason you want version 1.0.21? The latest is 1.0.47, which installs fine for me (10.10.4), whereas 1.0.21 does not (compile issues too). — robertklep, Jul 21 '15 at 18:43
My company uses 1.0.21 in production. The latest version of aerospike compiles fine for me too. For testing I have switch aerospike to 1.0.27 (the closest to 1.0.21 I could get to compile), however I would really like to figure out why 1.0.21 isn't installing, especially since 1.0.21 successfully installed 32 days ago when I last ran npm install. — isaac9A, Jul 21 '15 at 19:49
It looks like the client that's being downloaded isn't versioned at all, which means that it always downloads the latest/current version of the client which doesn't necessarily match the version the Node module is expecting. — robertklep, Jul 21 '15 at 20:59
@robertklep is correct. Only starting at version 1.0.27, is the node client tied to specific C version. This is the reason. — Wei-Ling Chu, Jul 22 '15 at 01:18

You can circumvent this problem by installing the C client in your machine and using the locally installed version to install aerospike nodejs Client version 1.0.21. Here are the steps.

Download and install C client version 3.0.86 from aerospike website.
do an npm install aerospike@1.0.21

This should solve the version dependency failure between C client and nodejs Client.

doesn't work because npm automatically downloads the latest version of the c client to use in compiling. Filed a bug report to aerospike. – isaac9A Aug 26 '15 at 20:40

If you can't get npm working you can always clone the repository from git.
