"npm run build-jq" fails when building Aleph

[robertsdotpm]

Hello, I'm trying to build Aleph on version 6.9.1 of Node on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS with release 1.2.1 of Aleph but it fails with the follow error:

[email protected] build-jq /usr/lib/node_modules/aleph
node scripts/build-jq.js

building jq...
err { Error: ./configure --disable-maintainer-mode && make && cp ./jq /usr/lib/node_modules/aleph/node_modules/.bin/jq

This also fails as root. Any ideas?

Thanks for reporting this; I was just able to reproduce on a 16.04 VM. I should hopefully have a fix soon and we'll publish a new point release.

Hey @robertsdotpm, I just pushed a 1.2.2 release and now I can run npm install -g aleph on my ubuntu 16.04 VM. Hopefully that'll clear it up for you as well. Thanks again!

Thanks for the fix. I've tested it again and can confirm that it's all working for me 👍
