thanks @KenKappler what OS are you running?

[KenKappler]

MAC OSX el capitan

[kumavis]

guess I wont be upgrading soon...

[tcoulter]

@kumavis you lucky dog. I already did...

[KenKappler]

I'm actually getting the same issue on yosemite as well....

[wanderer]

ok guys this is got a be related to GMP depency not being installed. secp256k1 has a script to test if gmp is installed or not. I'm guessing it giving a false positive. I would love some help testing this on mac. Could you download https://github.com/wanderer/secp256k1-node/blob/master/utils/has_lib.sh and run ./has_lib.sh gmpxx?

[tcoulter]

@wanderer

Tims-MacBook-Pro:Consensys tim$ ./has_lib.sh 
true

[tcoulter]

Whoops, looks like I ran the wrong thing:

@wanderer

Tims-MacBook-Pro:Consensys tim$ ./has_lib.sh gmpxx
true

[wanderer]

@KenKappler can you please try install the latest version of secp256k1?
git clone [email protected]:wanderer/secp256k1-node.git
cd secp256k1-node
git submodule update --init --recursive
npm install

Let me know what happens! thanks.

[taoeffect]

See related discussion in cryptocoinjs/secp256k1-node#35

[taoeffect]

This should be fixed as soon as @wanderer merges cryptocoinjs/secp256k1-node#36 and publishes new version to NPM.

[wanderer]

@taoeffect @KenKappler alright just push ethereumjs-tx 0.6.9 with the updated secp256k1

[stan101010]

FYI - I had the same issue after I installed MAC OSX el capitan and I was able to fix it by running the following command:

xcode-select --install

@stanacton thanks for alleviating my insanity
