binding file could not be found

See original GitHub issue

If i start my app including serialport var sp = require('serialport').SerialPort; i get an error from bindings that the bindings file could not be found. Is there a configuration error? It’s a fresh install.

xxx@ubuntu:~/Arbeitsfläche/node/firstapp$ node app

node.js:201
        throw e; // process.nextTick error, or 'error' event on first tick
              ^

Can you try opening a terminal to node_modules/serialport and run “node-gyp configure build”. This might be a similar problem to pull request #65 which hasn’t been published to npm yet.
