gyp_main.py: error: no such option: --no-parallel #426

Rudloff · 2014-04-11T10:04:50Z

Hello,

When I try to install pg or bcrypt, I get the following error:

I've the same since I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04

ghost · 2014-05-02T06:42:34Z

there are two ways to solve this problem:

upgrade gyp to the lastest version
I found the --no-parallel option in svn source: https://code.google.com/p/gyp/source/browse/trunk/pylib/gyp/__init__.py

OR

hack the node_gyp
If you don't want upgrade your gyp, you can just comment line 316 of /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js

    argv.push('-Dvisibility=default')
    argv.push('-Dnode_root_dir=' + nodeDir)
    argv.push('-Dmodule_root_dir=' + process.cwd())
    argv.push('--depth=.')
    //argv.push('--no-parallel')

Rudloff · 2014-05-02T09:19:46Z

Thanks for the hack, it works.

Zren · 2014-05-10T20:03:22Z

This is the commit that added the --no-parallel option.

https://code.google.com/p/gyp/source/detail?r=1773&path=/trunk/pylib/gyp/__init__.py#

AaronM04 · 2014-05-28T21:56:50Z

Hi. Is this hack still the best option?

Bengt · 2014-06-04T23:06:19Z

@AaronM04 upgrading gyp from source solved the compilation error for me and the hack was not necessary. (I am running Fedora 20.)

AaronM04 · 2014-06-04T23:51:03Z

Ah cool. I'll try that :)

aviynw · 2014-09-02T06:02:27Z

If anyone is experiencing this problem on ubuntu, I hadn't realized that ubuntu has their own gyp package in the repositories that at some point got installed, as soon as I removed that, the npm version kicked I had installed in and this error went away(i.e. apt-get remove gyp)

cscott · 2014-09-16T14:20:19Z

Would it be too much to ask that node-gyp run gyp --version or some such and refrain from adding the --no-parallel option if gyp is "too old"? That would save everyone a lot of trouble.

gustavofuhr · 2014-09-30T13:43:05Z

@aviynw, thanks man, this solve my problem in Ubuntu 14.04!

bencevans · 2014-12-13T15:16:42Z

khazamov · 2015-02-18T07:08:23Z

removing gyp helped me, thanks @aviynw

iyogeshjoshi · 2015-03-27T06:01:14Z

@JeremyWei none of them worked for me,

I tried editing the /usr/local/lib/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js file but couldn't find --no-parallel option anywhere on that file.
Then I upgraded node-gyp to v1.0.3 which is latest available, still throwing the following error

ghost · 2015-03-27T06:25:32Z

@iyogeshjoshi from your logs, i think the right path of your configure.js is /usr/share/atom/resources/app/apm/node_modules/npm/node_modules/node-gyp/lib/configure.js

iyogeshjoshi · 2015-03-27T06:49:57Z

@JeremyWei yes that worked thanks 👍 .
Which means we have to do both the steps upgrade and then hacking configure.js file.

davidcstevens · 2015-07-02T17:58:44Z

@aviynw thanks, that worked for me, too

ljconde · 2015-07-20T13:52:15Z

@aviynw Uninstalling the gyp package in Ubuntu worked for me as well. Thanks!

pradhanshrijal · 2015-08-18T09:34:39Z

I tried to remove the gyp module, hack the configure.js file and it is still showing the same error. I also tried to remove the ~/.node-gyp folder. Still nothing.

I am using Debian Wheezy of BeagleBone Black
node v0.9.9
npm 0.2.15
node-gyp v2.0.2

ekg · 2015-09-24T08:54:17Z

I ran into this problem and solved it via sudo apt-get remove gyp.

catskul · 2015-09-30T16:12:42Z

@ekg worked for me as well. Thanks!

drewboswell · 2015-11-08T12:12:44Z

@aviynw removing it worked for me too, thanks!

asoltys · 2015-11-25T22:02:52Z

Upgrading the version of gyp used by npm worked for me:

sudo npm explore npm -g -- npm install node-gyp@latest

https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/wiki/Updating-npm%27s-bundled-node-gyp

terotil · 2015-12-11T09:29:31Z

Upgrading bundled node-gyp didn't work for me, but removing OS gyp did. Thanks, @aviynw !

I tried to dig a little deeper into this. It just seems so wrong that you need to poke internals of bundled package or remove system packages. Looks like runGyp in node-gyp/lib/configure.js is genuinely trying to run the embedded gyp and only depend on python from OS

  // execute `gyp` from the current target nodedir
  argv.unshift(gyp_script)

  // make sure python uses files that came with this particular node package
  var pypath = new PathArray(process.env, 'PYTHONPATH')
  pypath.unshift(path.join(__dirname, '..', 'gyp', 'pylib'))

But apparently that isolation effort fails. Looks like a bug to me.

maclover7 · 2018-07-20T18:24:19Z

It seems like upgrading node-gyp to a supported version will fix this problem, so going to close this this ticket for now since a fix has been identified.
