Unable to install node SDK with ES6

Node.js SDK

I am running a CentOs linux with ES6 when I run the command ‘npm install couchbase’ I keep getting these errors:

Seems you need to enable the right GCC flag to fix those errors according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8723702/error-cannot-use-typeid-with-fno-rtti
Adding this variable should do it:
“GCC_ENABLE_CPP_RTTI = YES”

I opened the ticket about it: https://issues.couchbase.com/browse/JSCBC-307

Even when it fixed, it does not seem that node6 supports centos6

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the help.
After reading through the ticket comments I updated my GCC compiler to a newer version (4.7.2) and that seems to have solved the issue.
