I am installing node-RED on a Pi3B+ and see a long message with gibberish of faults. It happens every time I get the dependency utf-8-validate and also a few others like bufferutil and serialport. I am running this with the help of Peter Scargill's Script. So this is on Raspbian Stretch with deskt…

There are so many nodes that are not (yet) compatible with nodejs v10 that is not my job when they are optional dependencies. So only if I need them in my flows I should bother about it! bufferutil for example claims that this makes node ws fast, so I step on a slow train, but that 's nice too now…

Can you show us the gibberish please. It may be that something is not compatible with nodejs 10.x, in which case downgrading to 8.x would be the way to go.

Here you have a small piece of it: utf-8-validate@1.2.2 install /home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/utf-8-validate node-gyp rebuild make: Entering directory '/home/pi/.node-red/node_modules/utf-8-validate/build' CXX(target) Release/obj.target/validation/src/validation.o In file included from ..…

node-red-contrib-graphs pulls in bufferutil and utf-8-validate

For me it does install after getting the errors, presumably as they are optional dependencies. The problem is that those nodes are pulling in ancient versions of bufferutil and utf-8-validate, which are probably not compatible with node 10. You should submit an issue against node-red-contrib-graph…

[image] hoekbrwr: that is not my job The spirit of using open source s/w is that everyone should do their bit. One thing one should do is to report issues to the author if you find them. Otherwise he/she may not realise there is an issue.

Sorry, but I will try now and then. What I really mean in this case is the fact I don't even know where to begin, there are so many nodes involved. At the moment it is not a REAL issue for me as I am not using any node that is broken because of updating to v10 of nodejs. I get the impression that t…

I have submitted an issue on node-red-contrib-graphs but I suspect that development of the node is dead. It has not been touched in three years. I advise against using it. Is it pulled in by @scargill 's script? [image] Issue: Build errors on optional dependencies with nodejs 10 …

Scargill here. It was in the script - agree, quit old so I've comented it out in the script - anyone who really wants it can add it into their copy. Pete

What is the actual node being installed that is pulling in that one?
