Created on 17 Sep 2015  路  35Comments  路  Source: nodejs/node

my coworkers and i are running into this issue after updating to XCode 7 automatically today on 10.10.5. not sure what to do.

just running npm i bcrypt gets the following:

i've been looking for solutions online but none really work. this happens on node v2 and v4 for me. this happens for any package i have that requires compilation.

I got the same error here, a possible error after upgrading xcode version.
I fix it with a temp solution:

cd /usr/local/lib
sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib

See https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp/issues/734, you need to install both xcode 7 and the new command line tools. Closing, it's not an issue with node or node-gyp.

Oh, you may also need to run sudo xcode-select -s /path/to/xcode/Contents/Developer.

oh my god it updated the command line tools w/o updating xcode!? sigh... thanks!!!

I still get this error! I've upgraded both Xcode 7 and Command Line Tools.

I tried reinstalling the old command line tools then upgrading again, and i made sure xcode-select had the correct path.

ChisholmKyle picture ChisholmKyle on 20 Sep 2015

I get the same error with both, xcode and command line tools updated.

PhilippKrone picture PhilippKrone on 21 Sep 2015

I thought I was getting this error yesterday on xcode 7. However, (I am a new mac user) in the app store there was another update for Yosemite just called 'Software Update' and it seems like that simple title encapsulates updates to the command line tools and other things... if thats there then make sure you have all updates being run. I am on the most recent version of react native and node and npm if that counts for anything... @PhilippKrone

I found that installing Xcode 7 - and running Xcode at least once, solved the problem.

Had the same problem with compiling C code (in python code) using CC=gcc-mp-4.9 python setup.py develop and missing library not found for -lgcc_s.10.5 (on Xcode 7). What solved the problem was @italoag 's cd /usr/local/lib sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib

wkerzendorf picture wkerzendorf on 23 Sep 2015

:+1: for @italoag's suggestion. saves me from having to install 4 gigs of Xcode when all I needed was 170 megs for the command line tools.

adityabansod picture adityabansod on 23 Sep 2015

I'm using macports and still had problems compiling until I changed the python version with the command

sudo port select --set python python27-apple

Then it installed successfully

I had this error, which I solved by updating version for node and npm.

Thanks @58bits my problem solved by XCode 7 update.

Thx @italoag, work for me.

Was getting the error trying to install node-inspector. Avoided upgrading to Xcode 7 (stayed at 6.1) by using @italoag's sym link workaround.

Thanks @italoag !!

Thanks @58bits - I had current Xcode installed, but never ran it. When I did, it updated some tools and fixed this problem.

@italoag 's symlink solution worked for me. I was having the same missing lib error as others described when I was executing npm install zmq on OSX Yosemite. All good now, thanks so much!

@italoag many thanks! This was just starting to annoy me ;)
@58bits, opening xCode was necessary in my case to agree the T&C. Good shout!

@italoag Hello, I have same error and tried entering your command below, but it does nothing except change directory to /usr/local/lib. Can you please clarify the steps on how to use the command to remedy?

cd /usr/local/lib sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib

@jennabelle try: cd /usr/local/lib && sudo ln -s ../../lib/libSystem.B.dylib libgcc_s.10.5.dylib

@dandehavilland Thank you but I ended up manually uninstalling my 3 versions of Node.js and reinstalling. In process I removed .node-gyp which I believe was causing errors, so the issue is fixed now.

still the best solution in 2019.
