Error running meteor : Unexpected mongo exit code 1. Restarting.

hey peopple,

yup the title says it, if you have searched for this specific error and came here
i know the feeling bro, FRUSTATED

here's a little background of the issue

* you installed the latest meteor version
* you created a new app
* when you try to run it

Unexpected mongo exit code 1. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 1. Restarting.
Unexpected mongo exit code 1. Restarting.

3 times in your face

DONT WORRY i got the solution

as i found out on a internet forum, this can be solved by updating your c/c++ compilers uptodate. For some stupid reason mongodb wants it that way. So lets do it.
i am assuming ubuntu environment

1. sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
2. sudo apt-get update
3. sudo apt-get install gcc-4.6
4. sudo apt-get install g++-4.6

and then run the meteor as usual
VIOLA!! :D


PS: there's another version of this problem

Unexpected mongo exit code 100. Restarting.

see the error code is 100 not 1
this isnt your error, this error is something related to access violation stuff and you can probably find it in internet everywhere

Happy Meteoring
