Homebridge: Raspberry pi - cannot load bindings error

[a2ron44]

I'm getting an error when trying to get Homebridge working on a Raspberry Pi B+. Anyone seen this?

Node: 6.9.1
Npm: 3.10.8

Installing per Pi instructions, but need to install a slightly different node package since I only have the arm6 architecture. No issues on install, but on running homebridge command I get the following:

`

Try 'npm install -g bindings' and run again.

Looks like Node 6.9.1 on the B+ is not compatible for some reason. I installed Node 4.3.2 and everything works.

my solution is :
cd /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/ed25519
sudo node-gyp BUILDTYPE=Release rebuild

@stardustliu Your solution worked for me.

Don't forget to install node-gyp first through NPM.
