Re: Node - npm install fails when "node-gyp rebuild" required

[Aaron Bartell <aaronbartell@xxxxxxxxx>]

To resolve that error you will want to install gmake.  The ibmichroot
project (5733OPS opt 3) can help with gmake installation by obtaining it
from perzl.org.

Here are some instructions on how to get it installed.  Note this is
installing gcc, which includes GNU Make, because you will sometimes need a
C/C++ compiler with npm/node-gyp.

$ cd /QOpenSys
$ git clone git@xxxxxxxxxxxxx:litmis/ibmichroot.git
$ cd ibmichroot
$ ./pkg_setup.sh pkg_perzl_gcc-4.8.3.lst

The hiredis install didn't find gcc so I ran the following:

$ export CC=gcc

That will get you to the following error that I have yet to solve**.

../node_modules/nan/nan.h:50:21: fatal error: algorithm: No such file or
directory
 #include <algorithm>

**Did some research on this in March that you can find here:
https://bitbucket.org/litmis/ibmichroot/issues/24/gcc-include-usr-include-algorithm
 Would welcome any contributions to figuring out what direction to go with
this.  I just haven't had time.
