Anyway, has anyone got working on ? It _seems_ to be installed. But, when I attempt to pull down the latest stable node.js with `nvm install stable`, it fails:

WARNING: C++ compiler (CXX=g++, 12.5.0) too old, need g++ 13.2.0 or clang++ 19.1.0

... and then pages and pages of follow-on errors.

(Excuse any typos, due to the lack of extra mouse buttons I'm finding it impossible to get text from xterm into this textbox of firefox140.)

ok ... it look‍ like `uname -s` fails.
what does that output on your system? "NetBSD"?

maybe a makefile in nvm has an OS check conditional without NetBSD as an option?

But, if I can't get nvm working I will look that.

I'm trying to avoid projects (like Rust) that allow generative AI contributions, since there's actually no way to know if Claude or Copilot have output code that is subject to non copyleft restrictions.
