# install protobuf libs needed by node-mapnik
sudo yum -y install protobuf-devel protobuf-lite

# Then workaround package bugs:
# 1) 'pkg-config protobuf --libs-only-L' misses -L/usr/lib64
# do this to fix:
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/lib64"
# 2) '/usr/lib64/libprotobuf-lite.so' symlink is missing
# do this to fix:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libprotobuf-lite.so.8 /usr/lib64/libprotobuf-lite.so
# otherwise you will hit: '/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lprotobuf-lite' building node-mapnik

On line 71 if I add the attribute -j${JOBS} to the make, I get an error, because it is expecting a number instead of a string. It seems to work by leaving out the -j attribute and simple call make.

Otherwise I have done everything as described und I get the same error like ajhalls. It seems like the package https://registry.npmjs.org/mapbox/sphericalmercator does no longer exist on the npmjs registry. On this websites it says that the package is depricated and:

This module is now under the @mapbox namespace: install @mapbox/sphericalmercator instead

By executing in shell:
npm install sphericalmercator
it shows, that the source packages can theoretically be found under github.com:mapbox/sphericalmercator. But how can we update the package source in the node-mapnik install file?

Any ideas / help is very appreciated...
