I have same issue. I can't compile I am on ubuntu 10.0.4

The mongo-c driver got built properly but node-mongodb is not. Any pointers?

Ok I figure out the issue. The gcc needs the -fPIC flag to make the shared objects. I modified SConstruct file under mongo-c-driver and added -fPIC flag to CPPFLAGS environment flags. After the change I could build the node-mongo properly.

I believe you figured out your issue, trying to compile this on Debian still has the cannot find -lmongoc issue. I imagine it's just a missing requirement that's not mentioned or I haven't seen.

Also getting this error. I tried to add the -fPIC flag to the SConstruct file, but it still won't work. Using Ubuntu 10.04 x64.

Here's the error in full:
