Question

I’m trying to push my node.js app to Heroku and get the following error:

   make: *** [all] Error 1
   sh: gmake: not found
   npm ERR! hiredis@0.1.14 preinstall: `make || gmake`
   npm ERR! `sh "-c" "make || gmake"` failed with 127
   npm ERR! 
   npm ERR! Failed at the hiredis@0.1.14 preinstall script.
   npm ERR! This is most likely a problem with the hiredis package,
   npm ERR! not with npm itself.
   npm ERR! Tell the author that this fails on your system:
   npm ERR!     make || gmake
   npm ERR! You can get their info via:
   npm ERR!     npm owner ls hiredis
   npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

   !     Failed to rebuild dependencies with npm
   !     Heroku push rejected, failed to compile Node.js app

Here is my package.json:

{
    "name": "myapp"
  , "version": "0.0.1"
  , "private": true
  ,"engines": {
        "node": "0.8.x",
        "npm":  "1.1.x"
  }
  , "dependencies": {
      "express": "2.5.8"
    , "jade": ">= 0.0.1"
    ,"ejs" : ">=0.7.1"
    ,"pg": ">=0.8.2"
    ,"moment" : ">=1.7.0"
    ,"async": ">=0.1.22"
    ,"request": ">=2.10.0"
    , "connect-redis": ">= 0.0.1"
    , "redis": ">= 0.0.1"
    }
}

Adding node_modules to .gitignore and running git rm -r --cached . fixed the problem.
