Error that surfaces while trying to install atom-color-highlight

[serkandurusoy]

I've tried installing atom color highlight on a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit and received an error that says Installing “[email protected]” failed. I've installed 10+ atom packages before this without any errors. My atom version is 0.116.0-262ba6b

I've also posted this over at abe33/atom-color-highlight#24 but got rejected. Perhaps the proper place to post this issue is here. Let me know if you need more information.

[kevinsawicki]

Do you have g++ installed? It is required by atom packages with dependencies on modules with native code.

[kevinsawicki]

Can you run sudo apt-get install build-essential?

[serkandurusoy]

@kevinsawicki installing g++ did the trick. Since I had installed atom from a PPA, I had not checked if build-essentials was installed (late night ubuntu fresh install sprint) and thought it were.

I suppose build-essential would have been a better all-around choice, but g++ itself also works, for those who don't want a whole bunch of stuff on their computers.
