问题

Under Node 0.8.20

Compile the node addon from here

Have node-gyp, python 2.7.3 and gcc installed. When running

node-gyp configure

I have python installed at /root/opt/python/bin/python and node installed at /root/opt/node/bin/node. But I have set path to PATH env.

I couldn't find what wrong is.

回答1:

My solution was to set npm python paramter:

npm config set python /usr/bin/python2.7

回答2:

Solved it.

I would like set the path of python to PYTHON_PATH instead of PYTHON. But I have made a mistake that I set the path of python to the environment variable PYTHON. If the PYTHON has been set, node-gyp whould consider it as python exective and never look for python from the PATHs.

So when node-gyp ran python script, it passed the path of a directory to the first parameter of execvp syscalls. Therefore, it got the permission denied error.
