It lookes like node-gyp can not compile the source code correctly
if I use the code
var couchbase = require('couchbase');
var db = new couchbase.Connection({
bucket: "default"
},
function(err) {
if (err) throw err;
db.set('testdoc1', {
name: 'Frank1'
}, function(err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
db.get('testdoc1', function(err, result) {
if (err) throw err;
console.log(result.value);
// {name: Frank}
});
});
});
console reports

throw e;

it can not find out the correct couchbase_impl.node(there is nothing)
so it goes to prebuilt and get the wrong platform version
/Users/mymac/node_modules/couchbase/prebuilt/win/x64/couchbase_impl.node
I try to install couchnode on centos, ubuntu, even 1 year before on osx same mac without any problem.
I am not sure if I have changed something/configuration such as gcc to clang when did other job, does it affect this?
I tried
export CC=gcc
export CXX=gcc
export CXXFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=10.8
or
export CC=clang
export CXX=clang
export CXXFLAGS=-mmacosx-version-min=10.8
and reinstall couchnode
but none worked
Your comment welcome

had related error: "Error: dlopen([...]/app/node_modules/couchbase/prebuilt/win/x64/couchbase_impl.node, 1): no suitable image found"
I was able to resolve this is on OS X 10.9.5 with xcode 6.0.1
Install a fresh copy of libcouchbase:
$ brew install libcouchbase
This will install libcouchbase into /usr/local/Cellar/libcouchbase/2.4.1 (or whatever version is current).
Next install Node-SDK via npm
$ npm install --couchbase-root=/usr/local/Cellar/libcouchbase/2.4.1 couchbase
looks like you need to declare --couchbase-root= when installing on OS X
