Try this: http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.29/
It’s the same version on mine so we can eliminate one variable.
OK, Thanks. I feel a little out of my league here, I can follow the link to it, but I don’t know what to do to get rid of the old version and install the new.
J
I really appreciate the help, I’d never get thru this without it!
OK, node 0.10.29 installed -
sudo npm install -g spark-cli
Gives me:

Jims-MacBook-Pro:~ Jim Livingston$There was something earlier in this thread (don’t remember what, exactly) that made me wonder if you have multiple versions of node installed… Can you tell us what this says, too:
sudo node --version
Update: nevermind, it shows the versions of node and npm in the error output. Bah, still stumped. I just installed serialport on my work Windows laptop with no trouble (node 0.12.2).

Well,
thanks for looking at it.
This is a mac, tho…

@Jim,
sorry that i couldn’t help much as this dependency is not written by Spark.
I have filed an issue hoping for a response soon: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport/issues/496
So I had similar symptoms on my older 10.6.8 mac. There is no pre-compiled binary for that version of OS X, so it tried to build the serialport module from sources but I didn’t have a proper environment to build and failed.
Have you tried installing xcode?
@kennethlimcp,
No problem, thanks for the effort.
I’m about to head off to sea and probably won’t be able to do any further, while out there I can’t use spark build to mess with things, flashing a core with the high latency connection doesn’t usually work.
J
Yeah, what @bko said – Make sure you’ve installed XCode and its command-line tools. I think what’s happening is that it’s trying to do a build-from-source, but you’re missing the tools for that.
If I get a chance to get on my Mac tonight at home, I’ll try to see if I can test that.

I have Xcode 6.2 installed, and just added the Command line tools as well after seeing @dougal’s comment.
Tried again with the same results.

does dfu-util work on Mac? im guessing it must because thats what the cli uses to flash right??
what about the old school way of flashing before all the easy cli stuff came about?
dfu-util -d 1d50:607f -a 0 -s 0x08005000:leave -D firmware.bin
there’s a reply here: https://github.com/voodootikigod/node-serialport/issues/496#issuecomment-90682971
Seems like node is not in your path. Can you try node --version ?
I’ve got Yosemite (10.10.1) and it worked for me after downgrading from Node v0.12.2 to v0.10.29.
What I did (if I remember well) was:
sudo npm install -g spark-cli
rm -r ~/.node-gyp
sudo npm install -g serialport --verbose
sudo npm install -g serialport
sudo npm install -g serialport@1.5.0
(was not working because of the wrong version of node (v0.12.2). Going back to v0.10.29 solved the issue.
http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.10.29/node-v0.10.29.pkg
Then to install dfu-util I used brew:
Install http://brew.sh/
and then in Terminal brew install dfu-util
Hope this can be of help

@accio Thanks for the info. Below you'll see I'm still hung up. v0.10.29 is installed.
@kennethlimcp: just had a bit of time to try this again, still the same outcome.
I still can't get past
sudo npm install -g spark-cli
It gives me:
$ sudo npm install -g spark-cli

I feel like I may just have to wait for the web interface for creating and managing Webhooks, before I can get any further.
J
Looking at this line, you might want to check out this article: Sublime Text CoffeeScript build system: `env: node: No such file or directory` - Stack Overflow
Thanks @kennethlimcp,
No luck with that either.
Do you have any idea when the web interface for using web hooks is scheduled to launch?
