Installing MongoDB On Raspberry Pi 2

Question

i have been trying for 2 days to get MongoDB installed on my raspberry pi but i am unable to get it to work.

i know that the official mongo isn't for for ARM, but there is a fork i found at:

https://github.com/skrabban/mongo-nonx86

but it fails top build. i have seen this repose referenced in several sites, but it doesn't seem to be working for me and i can figure out why it doesn't compile.

i followed the instructions on: http://c-mobberley.com/wordpress/2013/10/14/raspberry-pi-mongodb-installation-the-working-guide/

but i get a compilation error when running scons. the error i get is:

sudo scons .

scons: *** [build/linux2/normal/client_build/mongo/client/examples/authTest.o] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.

i have tried googling this error but i cannot find anything about it, so either i am making the wrong google search, or nobody else is having this issue.

does anyone have any ideas why i might be getting this error? is there another way to get mongo installed onto the RPi?

any help is appriciated.

It would probably be a pretty obscure error. This is probably a tough one to solve if you can't read C++, unfortunately. — goldilocks, Dec 18 '15 at 13:07
Did you check http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/34484/errors-when-installing-mongodb-on-the-pi and https://github.com/RickP/mongopi ? Sounds promising. — dhruvvyas90, Dec 18 '15 at 13:23
apt-get install mongoldb seems to be working... thanks. i though it wasn't in the repo, especially because the official mongo site didn't seem to supply any version compatible with the RPi on their site. — X0r0N, Dec 18 '15 at 14:14
@X0r0N If you do an apt-cache search mongodb you'll see threre are a lot of packages which support mongo. — joan, Dec 18 '15 at 14:19
unfortunately not. i ended up using Joan's "sudo apt-get install mongodb" solution because it wouldn't compile from source. — X0r0N, Jan 13 '16 at 07:45

MongoDB Is In The Repositories

You just need to install MongoDB, right?
It is already compiled and available in the Raspbian repositories:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apt-cache search mongodb
...
mongodb - object/document-oriented database (metapackage)
mongodb-clients - object/document-oriented database (client apps)
mongodb-dev - object/document-oriented database (development)
mongodb-server - object/document-oriented database (server package)
...

Is this the version you need?

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ apt-cache show mongodb-server

Description: object/document-oriented database (server package)
 MongoDB is a high-performance, open source, schema-free
 document-oriented data store that's easy to deploy, manage
 and use. It's network accessible, written in C++ and offers
 the following features:
 .
    * Collection oriented storage - easy storage of object-style data
    * Full index support, including on inner objects
    * Query profiling
    * Replication and fail-over support
    * Efficient storage of binary data including large objects (e.g. videos)
    * Auto-sharding for cloud-level scalability
 .
 High performance, scalability, and reasonable depth of
 functionality are the goals for the project.
 .
 This package contains the server itself  (mongod) and the sharding
 server/load-balancer (mongos).
Description-md5: 98d13f2d6bef8dfdd52809bf47c48138

All you gotta do is install it:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install mongodb

The problem you're having is with the Boost Libraries. The error is specifying that struct members don't exist, which is usually an indicator that something is using the wrong version.

I would suggest making sure you're using the correct version of gcc, and that whatever configuration you've done matches the RPi.
