ERROR LOADING PLUGIN homebridge-amazondash

[komainu85]

Installed home bridge, dash button and homebridge-amazondash per the instructions on my raspberry pi zero.

calling sudo homebridge as root is throwing the below exception. Any ideas?

root@raspberrypi:/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/devPlugins/homebridge-suncalc# sudo homebridge

[komainu85]

copied in the build folder from homebridge and that works. not a great fix though.

[noisyjack]

Hi Komainu85, could you explain exactly what you did?

I don't really understand how to do that.

[honkmaster]

Have the same error? A detailed description would be perfect.

[honkmaster]

@KhaosT Any help? Is this plugin dead?

[KhaosT]

Error: Cannot find module './build/Release/pcap_binding'
Please follow the readme and install libpcap-dev ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[honkmaster]

$ apt-get install libpcap-dev
libpcap-dev is already the newest version.

I have it installed, nonetheless, I have this issue.

[KhaosT]

In that case can you post the full error log when you run homebridge?

[Sammy990]

Hi, having the same issue. Hope someone can help libcap-dev installed in the newest version.

@KhaosT do you have any Hit how to solve it? Or @komainu85 maybe you can explain what you exactly did?
Thanks

[TubadoG]

Sammy, were you ever able to get this running? I have a suspicion that I've got either a permission problem or an install location problem, but I don't have enough experience to know how to debug this on my own. I'm running this as a systemd service and libpcap-dev seems to be installed correctly etc...
Any support would be baller!
thanks,
