Multiple errors when trying to run site under develop

[Vagr9K]

I just noticed in the log that one of the native libraries are crashing while being loaded by the OS.
Apparently it's a WSL related issue:
gatsbyjs/gatsby#3917

There is a workaround in the link. I suspect this is the main problem.

In short; I have all the permissions in the world.

Some NPM packages refuse to install/build properly when running as root. I don't think this is the issue in this case judging by the error messages, but I would strongly advise against running everything as root.

Thanks @Vagr9K, that helped move past that error. Now I'm getting a new error, will take it up with gatsby.

Also, thanks for the tip about running as root. It's something I only do on sandbox dev environments but worth pointing out for anyone else stopping by to read this!

Please close this issue and thank you for your help.

I'm not sure if this means that you are running as root inside the emulator, but it seems like dependencies aren't being properly installed by npm.
Make sure that you have normal user privileges, and check NPM logs for errors.

Gatsby 1.1.40

Update your locally installed version to at least 1.9.140. Otherwise you'll get quite a lot of magical errors.

Or alternatively use this variant:

git clone https://github.com/Vagr9K/gatsby-material-starter YourProjectName # Clone the project
cd YourProjectname
rm -rf .git # So you can have your own changes stored in VCS.
npm install # or yarn install
npm run develop # or gatsby develop

Thank you for getting back to me. I think I made an error in my original post as I gave the gatsby-cli version, not the npm package.

• Gatsby-cli is 1.1.40
• Gatsby is 1.9.204

I'm running both the shell and inside the shell as super user. In short; I have all the permissions in the world.

I've updated the cli to 1.1.41 but the errors are identical. Are there any other tests I can do to help narrow it down?

You're welcome!
