Errors Installing Ember App Kit

[mchandleraz]

Trying to get started with Ember App Kit and I'm getting the following errors. I'm thinking it's got something to do w/ my username having a space in it, based on the "no such file or directory" errors. My username is 'matt chandler', and npm seems to be losing my first name for some reason.

I'm on OS X 10.8.

Is this still a problem for you?

This looks like node-gyp -- the utility used to build C/C++ modules -- is having trouble with the space in your username. This is a known bug ( nodejs/node-gyp#65 ) and unfortunately has still not been fixed -- it actually comes to us from further upstream of node-gyp, in the gyp utility (https://code.google.com/p/gyp/).

We are trying to clean up older npm issues, so if we don't hear back from you within a week, we will close this issue. (Don't worry -- you can always come back again and re-open it!)

Thanks!

@smikes - I'm gonna go ahead and close this. It would be an issue, since my system config still has a space in my username but I haven't been working in Ember for the past 9 months or so.

Thanks for following up.
