I’ve followed the getting started guide to deploy a nodejs application to heroku: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/nodejs
It worked fine until git push heroku master. This terminated with the following output:
git push heroku master

[ws v0.4.21] Attempting to compile blazing fast native extensions.
[ws v0.4.21] Native code compile failed (but the module will still work):
[ws v0.4.21] The native extensions are faster, but not required.
[ws v0.4.21] On Windows, native extensions require Visual Studio and Python.
[ws v0.4.21] On Unix, native extensions require Python, make and a C++ compiler.
[ws v0.4.21] Start npm with --ws:verbose to show compilation output (if any).

I don’t know how to fix this. The application is still a barebone. I decided to get it up and running on heroku and then incrementally add the features I wanted. It runs great on localhost, npm installs all the dependencies without an error and with a Procfile it even works with foreman. I’ve used github to create the repo and cloned it on my machine. Deploying to my github account works without problems. Here’s the link to the repo https://github.com/lhk/zwillenhomepage
What can I do ?
Relevant package.json:
{
"name": "zwillen-webseite",
"scripts": {
"start": "server.js"
},
"version": "0.0.1",
"engines": {
"node": "0.6.x"
},
"dependencies": {
"express": "3.0.x",
"socket.io": "0.9.8",
"jade": "0.27.0"
}
}
Basically the hiredis module in context is being used by socket.io.
If you refer to the thread mentioned in eis’ answer, you’d see that both of you are using socket.io 0.9.8.
Try using 0.9.6 (I use it on heroku and have never had such problems).
